Politics in New York

For Politics students

Our five-day tour programme is carefully planned to ensure that you have enough time to experience this remarkable city and to visit the incredible number of sites and attractions it has to offer.

New York is a fascinating destination for politics students and there is a host of invaluable visits available that will broaden their understanding of their subject:

 United Nations Headquarters

The multicultural mosaic of New York is a fitting setting for the United Nations, which has been based there since 1947. Guided tours of the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and other areas offer an inside look at the diplomatic decision-making of international government.


  The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Immigration Museum

Taking the ferry from South Point, the first stop is at Liberty Island and the opportunity to explore the Statue of Liberty. Thereafter the ferry will take you on to Ellis Island, the major point of entry for over 20 million Europeans during the peak period of immigration, where you will find the fascinating Museum of Immigration.


  Lower East Side Tenement Museum

Visitors to The Tenement tour carefully restored apartments and learn about the lives of actual past residents. The building is the first homestead of urban working class and poor immigrant people preserved and interpreted in the United States. Located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, an immigrant portal for almost two centuries, 97 Orchard Street was home to an estimated 7,000 people from more than 20 nations between 1863 and 1935.
