How to apply

The project has completed all its placements. This page is for information only.

For academic departments wishing to develop placement learning within their own institution, these documents can be used as templates. All we ask is that you acknowledge our project – please refer to our copyright statement.

Student placements are the central element of the Scholarship of Engagement for Politics project. We work with second year undergraduate Politics students from Coventry, Warwick and Oxford Brookes universities, and with a variety of political actors and organizations, from MPs, MEPs, district councillors and local government offices through to NGOs, and other voluntary sector bodies.

You should only submit an application if you are serious about undertaking a placement. Any placement requires a considerable commitment by you, and you will be acting, as an ambassador for the three Universities and the Scholarship of Engagement for Politics project.

For more information and details of the Placement Partnership, each university has its own guidance booklet:

For Coventry University - doc format (319Kb)

For Oxford Brookes University - .doc format (320Kb)
