Graduation Blues? Go to Scotland--

Just in, and just for the graduated---

Dear All,

Just a short note to let you know that the Hansard Society is now accepting applications for the exciting new postgraduate Hansard Society/University of Edinburgh Research Scholars Programme.

The Autumn 2007 Programme will run from 22 September – 15 December, 2007 and Scholars will be based in Edinburgh. Therefore, if any of your graduate (or recently graduated) students are interested in studying British politics at the University of Edinburgh, and doing an internship at the Scottish Parliament or in other prominent political organisations, please let us know.

This is the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Union between the English and Scottish Parliaments, and the recent Scottish Parliament elections have resulted in a narrow win for the Scottish National Party. What could be more exciting for students of parliamentary democracy than to engage with a new Parliament – founded in 1999? And in one of the most beautiful northern European cities: birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment, home to Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Ian Rankin and J.K.Rowling.

Full details about the Hansard Society /University of Edinburgh Research Scholars Programme can be found on our website at: www.hansardsociety.org.uk/programmes/hansard_society_scotland

Should you need any further details on the Hansard Society or the Hansard Scholars Programmes, please do not hesitate to ask.

All good wishes,
Angela Wrapson
