Politics and the Civil Service

Breaking into the world of government and politics has for decades been regarded as a classic example of it not being ‘what you know, but who you know’. However, in recent years this area has begun to open itself up in order to gain access to the most talented candidates: competition for an internship with the civil service, government departments, MPs or Party research departments can be fierce.

Perhaps the hardest part about getting this work is that it is often obtained by speculative letter writing. We at Oxbridge interns have a wealth of consultants who have been through this process, and have often won multipal internships in different areas of the political profession. We can help you craft expert cover letters to break the ice and land you a coveted spot in the engine room of British politics.

Furthermore, for the more formal internship and Graduate recruitment processes, we offer our silver, and gold application services. These applications often revolve around complex yet open questions about current affairs or world events. Who better to have on your side than an Oxbridge consultant with experience of being successful in filling in just these questionnaires? In such a competitive and mysterious world as political internships, having the Oxbridge advantage can be priceless.
