The Macquarie United Nations Society (MQUNSOC) is a dynamic student organisation dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of global affairs, international relations, humanitarianism, security, and environmental challenges. Our mission is to promote the values and principles of the United Nations throughout Macquarie University and the wider community, empowering students to engage with the pressing issues of our time.
We host a wide variety of events throughout the academic year, including learning workshops, discussions, social gatherings, and Model United Nations (MUN) simulations, both independently and in collaboration with other student societies and external organisations. Through these events, students are given the opportunity to explore global issues in a collaborative and solution-oriented environment.
MQUNSOC regularly sends delegates to national and international MUN conferences and also hosts prestigious MUN events on campus. These experiences allows students to deepen their understanding of diverse cultural and geopolitical perspectives while building a supportive community of like-minded peers.
Participation in MQUNSOC is open to all students, especially those with interests in international relations, foreign affairs, politics, humanitarian studies, or debate. Our initiatives align particularly well with the following degrees, offering students valuable opportunities to enhance their academic experience and develop practical skills:
By getting involved, students can refine essential skills such as public speaking, critical thinking, communication, and leadership and these skills are highly valued both academically and professionally. MQUNSOC provides a platform not just for engaging with global issues, but for shaping the future of diplomacy, advocacy, and international cooperation.
Whether you are passionate about world politics or simply eager to learn and grow, MQUNSOC is your gateway to meaningful engagement, personal development, and professional success.
