Student events

We run a great range of student events for you to explore IR outside of the classroom, and to enhance our community.

    IR Fellow Film Nights

    Food for Thought

    This is your opportunity to share a two-course lunch in the Senior Dining Room with a member of the IR faculty and discuss an article or piece of content that will be sent around in advance.

    These small lunches are limited to just twelve attendees - six undergraduates and six postgraduates - meaning you have the opportunity to discuss your ideas and the academic’s research interests in much greater detail than you otherwise might.

    As places are limited, you need to register to attend

    Please note that if you register for Food for Thought, you must give at least 24 hours notice if you will not be able to attend. If you do not give us notice, and fail to attend the event on the day, you will be deprioritised in registering for future events within the department.

    Hosted by a member of IR faculty, these sessions are open to all students in the Department of International Relations.
