About us
We are a society for anybody who studys subjects in the realm of Politics and International relations, as well as for anyone who is interested in politics and International relations. Becoming a member will enable you to learn more about politics and ir, improve your confidence in discussing these topics and it will enable you to meet coursemates and make friends!
What we do
Study groups and coffee socials: Join us most wednesday afternoons from 1-3 for a study group or a coffee social. Both are opportunities for you to get to know more of your coursemates. Whilst the coffee social is a good opportunity to get to have a good (sober) chat, whilst the study group is a good time to (finally) get some work done :)
Talks: We will also hold a range of talks over the academic year. These will range from being from external speakers and by academics within the university.
Fundraising and Volunteering: We also want to get involved in fundraising and volunteering. This will include fundraising events such as formals, pub quizzes and novelty events.
Socials: There will be frequent socials, including sober socials as well as socials where you can choose to drink. Socials are likely to range from activities like bowling, clubbing, JCs karoke and pub quizzes to walks in and around Swansea, cafe meetups, and pottery painting. Moreover, we hope to hold joint events with other societies. These may include talks, debates and fundraising events. Throughout the year, we will also be collaborating with other societies.
Join us: This list is not exhaustive, therefore if you would like to keep updated, then please join our whatsapp group chat and follow our socials.
