Welcome to the Oxford University International Relations Society!

We were founded in 2009 with the aim of reaching the Oxford community and beyond with relevant IR-related knowledge and debates. Since then, we have delivered and continue to deliver the arguments of scholars, policy-makers, diplomats, and journalists through speaker events on wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary topics. We also host regular socials with the local community through our flagship debate event Rum & Realpolitik every academic term, and host various exclusive events including drinks receptions, speaker dinners, and visits to embassies and think tanks for our paying members throughout the year.

Follow our social media, subscribe to our mailing list and Eventbrite for event updates, and become a member for access to special opportunities throughout the academic year!
