All hail the new breed!

Fancy doing a Master’s Degree in Legislative Studies? Not many would be beating down the doors at the prospect. But with a bursary of £15,000 on offer, the queue might be a little longer.

Such is the £500,000 plan that has been hatched between Queen’s University, Belfast and the Assembly.

Before all you politics undergraduates rush to fill in the application forms and plan a career in politics or public service there is a catch. During your time studying for the subsidised degree, you’ll only spend one day a week as a Holy Land trashing, barely sober student. The other four days will be spent working as an intern at the Assembly. Never mind the bursary, think how many debates and committee meetings you would have to endure!
