Autumn 1994 Internship Placements Internships take place in either the House of Commons or the House of Lords, where students are assigned to an individual Member of Parliament, or within other political organisations such as party headquarters, interest groups or media organisations. Internship work includes such activities as undertaking specific research tasks, speech writing, and responding to queries and letters from the public. Scholars are also expected to undertake some routine office tasks when at work. All placements are closely selected and supervised by the Hansard Society. In arranging placements, the Society takes into account students' interests and career intentions.
Academic credit is awarded on successful completion of the internship.
