International Relations/Politics/History Extracurriculars
Heyyy I want to know if there are any extracurriculars or supercurriculars for Cambridge even I can do to get into a degree related to IR/Politics/History. The options seem so limited as compared to lets say medicine where you could volunteer in the NHS(tho still difficult). Thank you

Some think tanks offer online policy work experience. e.g., Chatham house, which is an international affairs think tank.

could get involved with a political party and do some door knocking/leafleting, if that's your kinda thing? also, could look into doing a MOOC, an EPQ or entering an essay competition (Cambridge colleges tend to organise a couple) about something-related to IR/Politics/history. Even just general wider reading is good.
These are things that I have done/still do, I currently have 5/5 offers for politics and french
