Immerse yourself
in a world of policy
Events
We hold weekly events that discuss, debate and uncover areas of policy that may not cross your mind. Whether it's a guest speaker from a presidential administration talking about what it takes to achieve social justice in the 21st century, an MP discussing how to drive innovation and tech forward in the UK, a former member of the Bank of England talking about monetary policy, or a student debate -- there is something for anyone wanting to learn about policy.

Amazing policy

Throughout the academic terms we invite as many leading speakers in unique policy areas to come and speak to students at our speaker events. Over the course of our most recent terms we have invited Keith Magee - Obamas former spiritual adviser, Labour shadow cabinet member Chi Onwurah, and Candidate for Idaho US Senate Haneefah Khaaliq. Each guest speaker provides a wealth of insight into our policy sectors such as education, human rights, and tech and innovation. These high profile speakers offer special insights that are invaluable to those interested in politics and policy.

Each event attempts to focus on the range of eight separate policy areas we cover. This means each event, and each speaker, debate, or collaboration, highlights something new for each event we hold. This allows students to explore a wide range of topics, ideas, and expand their knowledge and interests. It also means there is something for everyone, if you are interested in one specific area, or issue, or a much wider range of topics, our events will cover it all.

We are a student-led think tank, so join in. The network of student members make our events and the wider think tank. All our events are free to join, and are made by the students who get involved -- asking questions those at the fore of policy-making, debating policy issues with other students, and getting involved in the policy competitions we hold throughout the year.
​​​​
Warwick Think Tank is also the perfect place to ask for academic and career advice. If you want to get involved in policy, our workshops and policy events are a great way to develop the skillset needed for the future.
