Extracurriculars for International Relations

I am currently in Year 12 and I am planning to study International Relations at University of Exeter but I am struggling to find some sort of extracurriculars to attend - I am already ready books on the topic and would rather try something more interactive so does anyone know of any good things to attend for International Relations in Essex/London area?

IR is just 'International Politics' with another name, so look at anything relevant within these BBC podcasts - Americast (BBC News - Americast - Available now) and Newscast (BBC News - Newscast - Available now) all deal with very current events and are accessible / easy tol isten to.

I am in year 13 and applied for international relations, and Things I did was Model European Parliament, MUN and if you don't have one look into setting it up for the School, also politics society to open up your awareness of the world and I also did work experience in public services

Hi!

SOAS is hosting a PPE Masterclass in March, which might be of interest to you. The session will take place on campus and cover the topic of racial capitalism. Led by SOAS academics, the interactive session provides a great opportunity to experience university-level discussions while also gaining an insight into studying politics.
You can read more about the event here: SOAS PPE Masterclass

I hope this helps!
