We are a society and network for all UWE students that discusses hot-button political issues in a variety of different events and collaborations with other societies. We also provide many networking opportunities if you're interested in getting further in to the political sphere. If you're a Politics & IR student its a great place to get peer support no matter your level. However we aren’t just here for politics students; we invite all students who are interested in domestic and international politics to sign up and join us at our events and debates.
Model United Nations (MUN) conferences are an official part of UWE PAIRS activities. Our own UWE MUN has grown hugely since its humble beginnings in 2012, an event we run annually with great success. We also offer our members opportunities to attend up-coming MUNs around the world.
We also hold regular debates on current political issues alongside new PAIRS events such as Movie Night Debates and Café Politik. Scroll down for details of some of our upcoming events! The most common activities are the regular socials and debates, which we aim to run weekly. Our past socials have included traditional pub evenings, bowling, mini-golf, the Bristol Festival of Ideas talks and a joint social with the Politics Society of University of Bristol. We also attempt to look out for interesting talks locally, nationally and within the university.
PAIRS is a multi award winning society. In the past we have been honoured to be voted the Best Academic Society of the Year, Best Trip and Most Improved Society and we consistently receive nominations at the society ball. So join us today and become part of an active, friendly network for all UWE Students!
