Scarlett Black graduated from Politics BSc(Hons) in 2019, and is now a Caseworker at the House of Commons
“My degree at Huddersfield gave me a chance to practise a lot of skills that have been very important for me since I graduated and that are very useful in my field. In particular, the experience of researching long pieces of work and balancing multiple competing priorities and activities have been very useful to me. I have used a lot of the information and topics that I covered during my degree in work that I have done since.”

“I believe my time at the University extremely helped me prepare for my current role as it equipped me with excellent research and analysis skills for the political field and aroused my interest in democratisation. Moreover, with the countless extra-curricular opportunities I was offered during my time, I developed great public speaking and networking skills that has been exceptionally helpful in my career as I liaise with stakeholders on a national and international level.”
