Edge Hill has provided me with lots of real world experiences such as submitting Select Committee Reports that are now published in the House of Commons, and the interviews and conferences that I am able to be a part of.

My favourite part about my degree is the numerous opportunities to work with real-life clients. Learning about the material and then applying that to the real world has been insightful in seeing the reality of how political systems work.

Politics is a fast-paced environment. Our lectures and seminars were tailored to what was going on in contemporary politics, I would say that this certainly helped prepare me for my career.
