The Parliamentary Studies module will now be rolled out to a small number of selected higher education institutions (HEIs) to deliver from 2013/14.
This module is approved and co-taught by staff at the Houses of Parliament and has the support of The Speaker and the Clerk of the House in the House of Commons, and the Lord Speaker and the Clerk of the Parliaments in the House of Lords.
Parliamentary Studies module details
Parliamentary Studies aims to provide students with a detailed knowledge of how Parliament works (in both theory and practice) and with the capacity to situate this knowledge against an understanding of similar institutions and against a set of broader themes and issues.
Delivery of Parliamentary Studies is based on a partnership between the Houses of Parliament and the HEI, with the HEI providing academic and theoretical content and Parliament providing practical and vocational teaching about the work, processes and business of Parliament.
