who are we ?
Established in 2011, The Monash International Affairs Society (MIAS) is a student-run, not-for-profit international affairs society of Monash University.
With over 300 members from a diverse range of disciplines across Monash, MIAS aims to provide its members with opportunities to engage with the international order and delve into global issues. Our events, including panel discussions and international Model United Nations Conferences, help students hone their public speaking, negotiation, and communication skills.
Monash International Affairs Society is the only student-club in Australia that sends delegates overseas to compete in international Model UN Conferences
We strive to create a hub where our members can develop relationships with international leaders in foreign affairs targeting global issues.
Further, MIAS runs its own publishing unit PIVOT, and a podcast series called ATLAS, alongside our Internship and Mentorship Programs, providing a multitude of resources for future leaders to thrive.
