This list has been prepared to support students enrolled in the Parliamentary Studies Module offered through 23 approved universities. Parliamentary Studies is a higher education module which is co-taught by university tutors and officials from the Houses of Parliament. It is the only higher education module formally approved by the Houses of Parliament. The module provides students with a detailed knowledge of how Parliament works in both theory and practice. It is delivered through a collaboration between the Houses of Parliament and a UK higher education institution; the institution provides academic and theoretical content, and Parliament provides practical teaching about the work, processes and business of Parliament.
