It is more important than ever for IBP students to have means to talk with each other, to discuss current affairs, and to strengthen their scholarly and personal networks. IBP students need to feel like university students to have the full experience. The IBP Union is a crucial facilitator in this process, helping IBP students find their guide-posts on student matters as well as providing a fulcrum for debate about the chanaging political economies around us.

The Union is a fantastic supplementary aspect to the program that deepens and expands the academic and social foundations.

I have always been struck by the strength and vibrancy of the IBP Union. The Union organizes a remarkably impressive range of meetings and events. They take the themes addressed on IBP courses as their point of departure but build on them so as to provide discussions about current affairs, guidance for those planning exchanges or internships, and much more besides.
