The unit offers students the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of policy research in a wide range of public and private organisations and to explore the practical applications of their study in public policy. It provides a framework from which students can assess their knowledge, skills and work preferences by participating in the practice of policy research. Internships can also assist in helping students in their pursuit of careers relating to the ever-expanding area of public policy. -- Course Website
