• PO-3121 Parliamentary Studies

  Parliamentary Studies is delivered in partnership between the Department of Politics, Philosophy and International Relations and Parliamentary officials from the Westminster Parliament Education Outreach Team. Swansea is one of only twenty-four universities in the UK sanctioned to provide this module, with the support of the Clerks of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. This module aims to equip students with academic and practical knowledge and skills around the UK Parliament, including detailed insights of the workings of Parliament and its relations with other parliamentary institutions. While Parliament remains a key body in the development and safeguarding of democracy in the UK, its functioning has also been subject to debate. It was at the heart of debates over the nature of the relationship between the executive and the legislature, the role of political parties, the reform of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and the theory and practice of parliamentary behavior, representation, and accountability. The UK¿s previous membership of the European Union has also stimulated debates over sovereignty of a pre- and post-Brexit UK. Similarly, devolution has stimulated discussions over Parliament¿s role in making laws across a multi-level polity. This module seeks to engage with these and other issues. Teaching includes tuition both by lecturers in the department and parliamentary staff as well as a field trip to the UK Parliament. The module emphasizes significant and active learning through a combination of traditional lecture-elements with seminar- and small-group activities and exchanges with practitioners like parliamentary clerks.

• PO-M93 Analysing Politics and International Relations

  The module builds on the discussions and content covered in PO-M32 and aims to introduce students to some of the most prominent methods of data collection and analysis in politics and IR. By discussing selected research methods and drawing on their application in published research, the module seeks to empower students to identify and explain a suitable methodological approach for their MA dissertation, subsequently apply methods in their own research projects, and develop key research skills valuable for a variety of career paths. To do so, the core seminars combine lecture and seminar elements. Following a short lecture-style introduction, the core seminars will focus on active learning activities focused on supporting students in explaining, examining, and evaluating the application of research methods in prominent political science and IR publications. The workshops aim to support students in consolidating their mastery of the material.

• POA301 Parliamentary Studies project

  The module provides an opportunity for students who have undertaken the module PO-3121 ¿Parliamentary Studies¿ to do further sustained study on one aspect of parliamentary studies. Students will receive academic supervision, feedback, and advice on accessing primary and printed sources from within the Department of Politics, Philosophy, and IR in collaboration with the Houses of Parliament Education Outreach Team. By designing and realizing their own project in parliamentary studies, students will acquire and practice skills that are highly valuable for further studies in the social sciences and a variety of careers. These skills include breaking down a larger project into a series of work steps, planning and organizing work independently, appraising different positions in a debate based on the critical evaluation of evidence, and formulating and defending empirically an answer to important political questions.
