Gwybodaeth Modiwlau

This module aims to provide students with practical insights into the working of the National Assembly for Wales and Welsh politics post-devolution. It provides an unique opportunity to develop and enhance written and oral transferable skills. Students will work for an organisation that is directly involved in Welsh politics and will have the opportunity to undertake activities, tasks, projects, office or other business that the organisation requires, subject to the overall supervision of the nature of the work by the Module Convenor (the Module Convenor will keep in weekly contact with the students via e-mail, will be in contact with the student¿s Line Manager at the placement and will make one visit the placement location). The following have already provisionally agreed to provide placements: The Welsh Assembly Government, The Assembly Parliamentary Services, Welsh Local Government Association, BBC Political Affairs Unit, Morgan and Cole, and Grayling Public Relations.

Students will be expected to keep a reflective log during the placement period and to record assignments and appointments, meetings and receptions attended and one of the assessments will be based on this.
