What is Model United Nations?

Model United Nations (MUN) allows students to be propelled into an exciting simulated UN conference setting. It promotes debate, negotiation and ultimately helps explore and discover solutions to global issues that are currently being tackled by the world community and the real United Nations system in particular. MUN expands classroom education throughout various disciplines by blending learned textbook knowledge with real-world problem-solving. We travel to national, as well as international conferences, together as a delegation, and compete in them. Beforehand, we practice together and work on essential skill-sets, that will improve your performance in any future job you may have!

The Model United Nations society or program in general, is not only for political science students; it is a truly interdisciplinary society, evoking the political reality while utilizing various skills associated with geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, law, economics, political science, urban planning, and a broad array of other professional and academic disciplines.

Are you a politically interested and ambitious person? Do you enjoy discussing ideas and cooperating with other people in order to solve an issue? Then we are exactly what you have been looking for! 

The MUN society promotes the creation of an engaged, ethical and aware global citizenry and you can be a part of that!
