Course summary
Study the machinery of British politics while watching the cogs turning with this politics degree, featuring a Westminster placement. You’ll develop critical insights by diving into the big questions of today’s society, tackling everything from wealth and power to inequalities and identity. Then apply what you’ve learned in Westminster, working alongside an MP or Peer’s office so you can develop contacts and valuable real-world experience for either a year or a shorter, three-month placement. You could also spend a trimester abroad in Europe, the USA or Hong Kong.
Why study at Hull?- Get a head start in Westminster: Attend our exclusive seminar series presented by senior parliamentary officials, including Black Rod and the Speaker of the House while working in the heart of British politics- Study abroad: Compare and contrast our political system with those in the USA, Europe or Hong Kong by spending a trimester abroad, exploring the world and expanding your horizons- Skills for career advantages: You’ll build your transferable skills – like research, creative problem solving and critical thinking – needed by a wide range of roles and sectors
Where could this take me?Affectionately known as the ‘Hull Mafia’, our graduates are well-recognised in the halls of Westminster as so many go on to careers at the heart of British politics. But that’s not your only option. The skills you build on this politics degree mean you’re well-placed to head into a career in law, journalism, or activism. Previous Hull graduates have also joined the Armed Forces, the Civil Service and the intelligence services.
