The NUS Global Studies Club started in 2015 as a means to facilitate a greater sense of inclusion among the Global Studies students. Being multi-disciplinary with varying themes and regions with modules that spread out across the whole of FASS, GL Club strives to foster a sense of belonging and community amongst this diverse group of students. GL Club organises welfare events, fundraising, community service projects, and academic and career talks in an effort to not only bond the GL community but to also allow GL students to realise the full potential and prospects of being a Global Studies major. Similarly, we hope to also serve as an intermediary between GL students and staff by disseminating various information from professors and to also allow feedback to be passed on from students. Being a relatively new major in NUS, we hope to also promote Global Studies not only to freshies but to employers too!

Founded in 1967, the Society seeks to engage, by way of activities and events, the various issues relating to Political Science as an academic discipline.
The Society also desires to promote, through the application of the concepts and theories of Political Science, a better understanding of the political, social, cultural and economic problems faced by Singapore, the region and the world at large and to contemplate possible solutions to these problems.
Membership is not limited to students taking Political Science. We welcome all students, regardless of discipline, faculty or school.
Our flagship events include the Singapore Model United Nations (SMUN), in which youths from around Singapore and the world come together to propose innovative solutions, both in their individual roles and potentials as global citizens. SMUN also provides a platform for participants to interact with, learn from and befriend each other, not only through rigorous academic debates but also through social events. SMUN is among the premier Model United Nations (MUN) conferences in the Asia-Pacific. SMUN prides itself on high academic standards and on bringing a truly global experience to its participants, with delegates from over 20 countries.
We also have our annual NUS Political Science Freshmen Orientation Camp (PS Camp), in which the incoming freshmen are welcomed into the Political Science family in our own unique way. It also provides the first form of genuine interaction between the freshmen and seniors, cementing links between successive batches of students with an interest in Political Science.
We also conduct Talks & Dialogues, often involving contemporary local political figures, academics, analysts and commentators. These discussions aim to raise the awareness of students and the public alike on the latest trends and occurrences in current affairs.
Lastly, we have our Welfare Initiatives, where we provide gifted items and accessories to members of our Society and community, as part of showing our appreciation for their support during the semesters and to wish them well for the gruelling final examinations period.
We always strive to be and do better. We welcome your suggestions to make this a reality. Connect with us through any of our social media platforms. We look forward to hearing from you.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) Club was founded with one primary goal in mind: To serve the interests of and create a community for all NUS PPE majors.
As NUS’s point of convergence for all things PPE, we strive to foster communication within our major, organise get-togethers to bond our community and events which arm our majors to better achieve their goals. The NUS PPE Club’s framework: Administration, Community building, and Extra-curricular exposure.
Administration: To ensure that the Club serves as a link bridge, representing the interests of the PPE student community while articulating the considerations behind the policies enacted by FASS faculty staff.
Community building: To build an inclusive and cohesive community that encourages peer-to-peer collaboration, within and beyond the NUS PPE community.
Extra-curricular exposure: To expose the NUS PPE community to a plethora of potential career paths, by engaging with a diverse range of key public figures from the public sector and leading industry experts from the private sector.
The NUS PPE Club will continue to endeavour to serve the interests of the NUS PPE community. Besides providing more opportunities for PPE majors to meet and connect, the Club has also ramped up efforts to bring our majors’ aspirations closer to them—through talks with industry experts and PPE alumni, our majors can find out what they can do with the PPE major and what steps they can take to achieve your professional goals.
The Club is also very excited to announce the conception of Republic—our brand new publication—as a platform for the NUS community to share their work and ideas within the PPE-centric domain. Keep an eye out for upcoming events, and submit your essays to Republic to have your work featured!

Formed in 1967 by a group of enthusiastic and idealistic freshmen, the NUS Sociology Society has been involved in the student life of the Department of Sociology. With an appreciation for the larger forces that shape society, the NUS Sociology Society has constantly sought to stay relevant to these shifting contexts.
While this has shaped the Society’s nature towards one which is ever changing and multi-faceted, the underlying desire to stay academically relevant and to pursue sociologically inspired causes have remained unchanged, if not strengthened.
More so, we believe that Sociology does not study the world as it is, rather, it studies the world as it is not. It is by striving towards this world that is not, that will make our world a better place. Perhaps we are still as idealistic as ever! Nevertheless, we welcome you to discover (and hopefully take part in) our various events, where we experiment with ideas and attempt to translate sociological thoughts into actions. VISION:
To promote camaraderie amongst Sociology majors and students interested in Sociology across diverse backgrounds by enhancing the appreciation of Sociological imagination in our everyday life.
MISSION: To nurture students’ capacity to question assumptions, discover new perspectives and redefine existing paradigms of our social world through collaboration and building connections.

Past projects undertaken by the SEASS included a community service project in Pattani, South Thailand in 2003 which was supported by the Singapore International Foundation (SIF), various cultural trips to countries in the region as well as SEASS Alumni Night in 2007.
A key event which we organise each year is the "Southeast Asia Week", a mini-festival dedicated to all things Southeast Asia. Each year, a myriad of activities and events shaped by the creativity of SEASS members are organised during "Southeast Asia Week". Past events included a concert dedicated to Southeast Asian music, cultural/art themed exhibitions, film screenings, academic forums and discussions on Southeast Asian related issues such as human rights, politics and so on.
