Careers Events and Workshops (including skill development workshops, networking events and guest speaker Q&A sessions)
Model United Nations (MUN) conferences (both our own events and sending UOW students to other universities)
Frontier Journal of International Affairs (where students can contribute as both editors and authors, and be published in a peer-reviewed academic journal before graduation)
Collaborations with other UOW academic societies from Humanities and Social Inquiry
Social events, including monthly General Members Meetings and the annual Arts and Humanities Ball.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose
As a society, our purpose is to create a platform for intellectual debate and discussion, to highlight the importance of governance and peaceful resolution, and for students to further their own careers in international affairs and relations by enabling them to gain important skills and extracurricular participation.
We aim to support PAIS students in their studies and extracurricular activities, and to facilitate insightful discussion of dynamic and complex issues, in areas such as international law, economics, history and foreign affairs. Our events and programs are all implemented with this in mind, and brought together by fellow students who are passionate and dedicated to supporting all those interested in politics and international relations, during their time at university and after their degree is complete.
Acknowledgment of Country
Acknowledgment of Country
The Wollongong University Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs Society acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the University of Wollongong campuses are situated and all society events occur. We pay our respects to Indigenous cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, traditions and knowledge of Indigenous peoples and communities across Australia.
The UOW Wollongong Campus is on Dharawal land, now and forever.
