InvestIN Education - The Young International Politics Summer Experience

InvestIN Education's Young International Politics Summer Experience is a multi-option, immersive politics work-experience programme delivered in London (UCL / University of London campus) and offered live online. Students take part in career simulations such as a 2-day Model UN, election campaign exercises, media and crisis-management workshops, visits to professional sites (including the Houses of Parliament and Sky studios), and networking sessions with senior political figures and policy professionals.

The programme is designed for students aged 15-18 (Year 10-12) and requires no prior subject knowledge. Participants can choose from 1-week (taster), 2-week (full programme) or 2-week premium options; residential and non-residential packages are available.

Students completing the programme can undertake a post-programme assessment to receive a Level 3 Award in Work Experience & Career Planning and a personalised certificate and industry reference letter. Sessions start in-person at University College London and surrounding University of London venues (with certain days at other London professional sites); an online delivery option is also available.

Practical details: programme fees vary by option, a non-refundable £950 deposit secures a place, residential students are accommodated in single ensuite rooms with meals, guardianship and social activities, and optional airport transfers can be added.
