Students spend the summer working with Members of Parliament, in other government offices and with various non-governmental political action groups. These internships afford students the chance to hold positions of responsibility and to exercise initiative. Parliamentary interns are typically asked to research local, national, and international issues and to write reports, press releases, subject briefs, and even speeches. Other interns may be assigned to organizations such as political parties, international pressure groups, and research institutes. Students are required to write a research paper which incorporates their experience as interns. A faculty member in the Department of Political Science at Michigan will supervise their work and then evaluate and mark the final paper.
