Join us for the first Undergraduate Network (UGN) event of the 2026-2027 academic year. This first event will be free for both members and non-members of the network, to enable you to find out more about who we are and what we do.
The virtual panel will feature practitioners currently working on the front lines of foreign policy. From the public sphere to the private sector across the UK and overseas, our speakers will share their career paths, the realities of their roles, and insights on breaking into the field. No matter what stage of the career planning process you are at, you will gain insight into what a career in international relations really looks like, you will be able to ask questions, and you will gain practical advice on internships, graduate study, and early-career opportunities.
