Politics Society

Our society is one of the best ways politics students can get to know each other, settle into student life and enhance their university experience.

Pocket Politics Podcast

Pocket Politics delivers honest discussions and quick education on politics and governance in the UK and internationally. Join us every Friday where we aim to talk and educate (with the help of academics and politicians...) on topics that span across current affairs, economics, political philosophy, and more!

Pocket Politics Podcast

We have previously collaborated with big names in the world of politics such as Lord David Blunkett, Jesse Norman MP, and former U.S. National Security official, Fiona Hill. The podcast is run by our members, if you're interested in being a part of a political podcast PolSoc could be the place for you.

We work with other political societies to ensure we are offering dynamic events that reach everyone on the political spectrum. Our social secretaries work to expand the activities on offer, from nights out and dance events to fancy dinners and sober socials with absolutely no drinking initiations!
