**Studying politics at Hull takes you to the heart of contemporary political debate.** We'll encourage you to question conventional wisdom and your own preconceived ideas. And you'll graduate with the ability to operate as a political analyst, theorist, historian, or an actual politician or political activist. Focus on the most important topics and debates in past and contemporary politics while questioning both conventional wisdom and your own preconceived ideas. You can gain a unique head start in your career with the opportunity to complete a semester abroad or an internship, either in Westminster or with one of our public- and private-sector partners such as the Hansard Society, the Humber Local Economic Partnership, or the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. The foundation year is ideal to boost your skills and knowledge if you don't quite meet our academic entry requirements. **Official Team GB partners** Did you know that the University of Hull is the official University Partner of Team GB? Our united belief is that anyone, with the right opportunities ahead and a dedicated team behind, can achieve extraordinary things. This is what our partnership with Team GB is built on. Extraordinary is in you – and we’ll help you find it. What does this mean for you? It means that whether you’re studying sports science, or marketing, or logistics, or healthcare, or engineering, you’ll be able to gain invaluable experience through this unique partnership. We are working with Team GB to create opportunities for volunteering and work experience, to get involved with meet-and-greet sessions with Olympians, host on-campus talks from guest speakers and so much more. Some of our students recently helped Team GB athletes get their kit ready to compete in preparation for the Minsk 2019 European Games. It’s an extraordinary partnership, and you won’t find it anywhere else. Find out more at hull.ac.uk/teamgb
