SIM International Affairs Society (IAS)

The International Affairs Society (IAS) is dedicated to gathering students with a passion for global awareness and a zeal for expanding their knowledge and skills in the realm of international relations by bridging academic inquiry with real-world developments.

Founded in December 2014, IAS has since grown to be a society that hosts and attends events and initiatives that impact students both within and beyond the academic discipline of international relations. The society comprises 3 bodies, each specialising in the following:
