Study with us

Our Government Studies MA, run by the Strand Group, is the only course of its kind to go beyond the theory and apply an in-depth perspective to the personalities, policies and process involved in running the British state.

Students study modules developed with the likes of No. 10 Downing Street and HM Treasury and get the opportunity to learn directly from individuals who have worked at the heart of government, including former prime ministers and chancellors.

King’s Parliamentary Research Internship Programme

The King’s Parliamentary Research Internship Programme is a unique opportunity for PhD and postdoctoral researchers to engage directly with the inner workings of parliament.

Established and overseen by Baroness Deborah Bull, in collaboration with the Policy Institute and King’s Careers & Employability, 10-month part-time internships support the work of parliamentarians in the House of Lords and are designed to give participants first-hand experience of how evidence and analysis can be used to inform policymaking, while peers gain valuable assistance from skilled researchers.

The Policy Institute has built a network of visiting fellows and professors, including former civil servants, politicians, journalists and researchers, who give their time and expertise to the institute and wider King’s community. They are a valuable resource, playing a key role in strengthening the relationship between academia, policy and practice.
