Description
Since being established, the University of Bristol Politics Society has been known for an unparalleled commitment to high-end political engagement and events. We promote an open-minded political platform that is accessible for anyone, regardless of degree. It’s this standard of excellence that has provided the impetus for us to grow into the society we are today.
Our values ensure we support you through both your academic journey, as well as the social side of your studies. Maintaining our high standards of social inclusivity, student representation, and a political saturating environment is important to us.
Joining our society will provide you with exclusive access to speakers from a range of different sectors, partnership with organisations such as The London Financial, and socials that we tailor to your interests by regular polls and surveys. Furthermore, our virtual careers week will provide you with speakers, webinars and resources no one else has access to, not forgetting the benefit of the members' alumni club, founded as of this year. The newly established wellbeing and equality officer, along with their wellbeing and equality board, ensure you are looked after, with a confidential reporting and advice systems in place.
We believe that our members always come first - and that means exceptional events, unbeatable socials and professional services. Get in touch today to learn more about what we have to offer or sign up to our MAILING LIST here: https://forms.gle/nwErqMNXJoSoEJJM9.
