FRESHERS 2022-23
Politics Ball 2019
WHY JOIN WARWICK POLITICS SOCIETY?
Voted ‘Best Academic Society in 2020’ at the SU Awards, Warwick PolSoc is
one of the largest and best societies on campus. Whether you are looking for
large scale social events, from pub golf to club nights (often attracting around
100 people), or engaging academic events with high profile names, we have
something to cater for everyone. Alongside these types of events, we have a
newly established careers branch of the Society to assist with all your
LinkedIn-associated needs.
Each year we host the Politics Ball, a formal event for over 200 students.
This is an excellent opportunity to dress up for the night and celebrate your
academic successes or new friendships over a three-course meal in a classy
venue.
We host an International Tour annually, involving a mini city break for you to spend quality
time withyour PolSoc peers and explore somewhere other than Leamington. We try to keep our Tour affordable to allow as many students to attend as possible.

Warwick Politics Society is also home to Perspectives, our political commentary
magazine. If you consider yourself to be an aspiring political journalist, or have any
kind of interest in political writing, this is a great way to get involved in the Society.
Get ahead of the queue and email our Editors James and Shu-Yu for more
information (james.baldwin@warwick.ac.uk & shu-yu.lim@warwick.ac.uk).
In the event political writing is not up your street, we have Football and Netball teams
which play in the societies league each year. This is a great way to play a team sport
in a casual setting, stay fit whilst at uni and meet new people! Our Sports Officer,
Solomon Brown, will be able to guide you through joining one of our teams.

Last but definitely not least, at Warwick PolSoc we work hard to support local and
national charities. Last year we supported Mind, a leading mental health charity, as
well as Movemeber and raised a grand total of over £2500.

Societies Fair to get to know our Executive Team and more about what will be doing
