Our Story
Warwick International Relations Society is the third largest international relations society in Europe and one of the most prestigious societies at the University of Warwick. The organisation is built upon three cardinal points: Engagement, Quality, and Opportunity.
Engagement:
IRSoc organises weekly meetings open to all students, where pressing issues of international relevance are discussed in a creative and friendly way. It is a bottom-up society, where the ideas of members are considered and, if feasible, put into practice. IRSoc is also the only politics-related society that holds revision sessions at the end of the year with seminar tutors, as well as numerous socials with other societies, quiz-drinking games and yearly trips abroad.
Quality:
The society holds top-quality weekly speaker events, ranging from a wide variety of backgrounds and aimed at informing members and raising awareness about global issues. In the past years, our speakers consisted of many prestigious figures such as National Security Advisors, UN Ambassadors, state Ambassadors, The Economist editors-in-chief and EU Ministers. IRSoc also functions as a platform for cooperative dialogue and civil discussion, with the Israel-Palestine Forum being the largest non-partisan UK university event on the most perpetual crisis regarding IR.
Opportunity:
This society acts as a launching pad, a platform that gives students the tools, connections, and contacts they'll need to shape their future. With this aim, IRSoc holds one-day long events each year where firms are invited to present internships, job experiences and volunteering to facilitate the involvement of members in the IR/Politics stage. IRSoc also works with magazines of international relevance, the final aim being the creation of a contacts database to which all members can have access to, even after their university years.
