Welcome to the Curtin International Relations Society!

 

Do you enjoy staying up to date with current world events?

Do you like chatting about global news with other like-minded students?

Do you have an interest in politics, foreign affairs, and inter-state relations?

If so, CIRS is the place for you!

We are a community of diverse individuals dedicated to learning about and better understanding current global affairs, preparing the next generation of leaders (that's you!) and cultivating lifelong connections and friendships. At CIRS we encourage networking, socialisation, learning and self-expression. Everyone is welcome, regardless of what you study! Here you'll be provided the opportunity to hear from guest speakers, engage in friendly debates, grow your network and talk about your interests in a social setting.

Guild O'Day is back for Semester 2 of 2026! Whether you're a current or new student, we welcome you to come visit campus for a day full of giveaways, activities, and exploration.   The Curtin International Relations Society will be hosting a stall to showcase the club, so if you're interested in international relations, foreign affairs, humanitarianism and politics, you should stop by! Our committee members will be manning the stall to chat, answer questions, run activities, and give away prizes/merchandise. We welcome anyone and everyone to visit!   This semester, CIRS will be providing you with two different activities for you to partake in. The first will be a round of trivia, featuring broad questions relating to IR and foreign affairs. Those who get enough answers correct will win a prize package! The second activity is a classic guessing game, where we challenge you to correctly estimate the amount of sweets in our jar. Participants must be either pre-existing members or new members who join on the day.    Guild vouchers provided can be used to pay for membership if you're interested in joining the CIRS! Additionally, payment in cash or card are viable.    We look forward to seeing you there!
