Inspiring global careers in international politics

12 Dec 2025

Students gathered for a recent event on careers in international politics organised by the Politics Department in SoSS.

The Politics Department is excited to share the success of their inaugural event on careers in international politics, which attracted an impressive student turnout highlighting the growing interest in global career opportunities among our students.

The event featured inspiring speakers from the United Nations, Amnesty International, the FCDO, Chatham House, Global Weekly, EY, and the Department for Education. Most of these speakers are proud Manchester alumni, a testament to the quality of education they received here which helped them thrive in competitive international roles.

This initiative reflects the University’s commitment to having a global impact as part of its 2035 strategy. Dr Jasmin Ramovic, organiser of the event, said: "By equipping students with transferable skills and world-class knowledge, we prepare them to contribute to solving global challenges and shaping international policy. Our alumni exemplify this vision, taking Manchester’s values and expertise to the global stage."

Given the overwhelming response, the Politics Department will be making this an annual event and looks forward to expanding it even further in the future.
