Welcome to Exeter PolSoc! 🩵

Whether you’re a Politics student or just love a fun social and a good debate, PolSoc is the place to be. With over 300 members we’re one of Exeter’s biggest and most sociable societies, and we’re all about mixing academic opportunities with an exciting social life.

But why should I join PolSoc?

Best way to meet people on your course 👯‍♀️

Pol Soc is the best way to meet people who will be in all of your lectures and seminars. Everyone who is anyone is a PolSoc member, so you’re bound to see a familiar face in your lectures!

Unmissable Socials 🕺

From Castle Street, Timepiece Tuesdays and Standoff nights, to brunches, film nights, pub quizzes, pub golf, and speed dating - there’s something for everyone, drinking and non-drinking alike. Our social secretaries, Harry and Maya are working hard throughout the year to organise the most exciting and fun socials possible. 

Academic & Career Opportunities 👨‍🏫

Come to our networking events, attend debates and guest lectures, or get involved in our PolSoc Podcast. All of these are great opportunities to engage in politics outside of lectures and enrich your knowledge of political areas that you are interested in. Our dedicated academic secretaries, Izzy and Sam are there to help you make the most of all the amazing opportunities that we have on offer. 

Balls You Won’t Want to Miss 🪩

Our notorious black tie Winter ball and slightly more laid back Summer Ball are some of our most popular and highly anticipated events of the year. Last year’s winter ball was hosted at Exeter Castle, where we enjoyed lots of wine, a DJ, photographer, and a sit down meal. Our summer ball was held at Beckett’s rooftop bar with a gorgeous view overlooking the cathedral, so it is safe to say our formals will be the highlight of the PolSoc calendar

Intramural Sports Teams ⚽

Join our intramural sports teams for laid back weekend games against other societies! We have a netball team (First Past The Post), football team (Bercow’s Bandicoots), and cricket team (The Spin Doctors) who compete in the university’s league every Sunday evening. Our teams are relaxed and inclusive so whether you’re a keen sports player, or you’ve never played before - we welcome everyone!

Amazing Trips ✈️

Last year, PolSoc went on an incredibly successful trip to Amsterdam. We’re already dreaming up something just as exciting for this year and you won’t want to miss it…

Exclusive PolSoc Stash 🛍️

Our members will have access to a range of exclusive personalised PolSoc stash; from quarter zips to joggers and bucket hats we’ve got you covered. In PolSoc stash, you will be the most fashionable student on campus. 

We’re all looking forward to welcoming you to what we hope will be the best PolSoc year yet!

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up, grab your PolSoc stash, and get ready for the best year ever!!! 🩵
