Our policy work

The Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy (SSPP) strives to effect change through research and engagement that addresses real-world problems and challenges, combining perspectives, insights and methods from different bodies of knowledge to produce practical policy solutions. 

Building on our world-leading expertise across the social sciences and our deep relationships with government, business, civil society and international organisations, our academics inform policy with an impact locally, nationally and globally.

King’s Parliamentary Research Internship Programme

The King’s Parliamentary Research Internship Programme is a unique opportunity for PhD and postdoctoral researchers to engage directly with the inner workings of parliament.

Established and overseen by Baroness Deborah Bull, in collaboration with the Policy Institute and King’s Careers & Employability, 10-month part-time internships support the work of parliamentarians in the House of Lords and are designed to give participants first-hand experience of how evidence and analysis can be used to inform policymaking, while peers gain valuable assistance from skilled researchers.
