In the School of Government and Society we offer much more than a degree. As a student here, whether undergraduate or postgraduate, you have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of events, with some or all of the costs paid for by the School. Some of these are targeted to help you build skills and experience for your CV, others are more open events designed to expose you to high-level speakers on current debates relevant to all G&S students. http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/government-society/teaching/enhancing-student-experience/index.aspx?RelatedItemsList_SyndicationType=1 Contensis: http://www.contentmanagement.co.uk http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/government-society/departments/political-science-international-studies/teaching/enhancing-student-experience/high-profile-speaker-visits-polsis.aspx Study with POLSIS and you'll have the opportunity to hear from high profile speakers on current affairs and issues.
