What Is MPIRO?
The Melbourne Postgraduate International Relations Organisation (or MPIRO for short) is a student-led society at the University of Melbourne.
Established in 2017, MPIRO’s purpose is to promote international relations among graduate and postgraduate students. We do this by providing useful networking opportunities, academic assistance, career resources, and social events to students and faculty.
Some of MPIRO’s activities and projects include:
If you’re at the University of Melbourne, either studying or teaching at the graduate/postgraduate level, and have a passion for international relations, don’t be afraid to reach out to us.
We would love to get to know you!
Peer Related Resources and Support
We’re all in this together – studying these Masters degrees and researching our brains out. It can be tough, stressful, or even downright confusing. However, we don’t have to do it alone! We’ve build MPIRO as a source of support throughout academic life. Whether it’s navigating through the campus or forming study groups, we’re here for you!
A Place to Geek Out On international Politics
International relations is a pretty unique area of study, bringing a diverse range of people together from across the globe. Whether you’re hungry to learn or eager to debate, we want to be the place to geek out on all things international.
A Place To Relax And Meet Friends
Half of the University experience is made up of the connections you make. MPIRO is the perfect place to meet like minded people and make friends in a relaxed and casual environment.
A Career-Related Resource
A space together from alumni or professionals in the field. To learn from people working in areas you are passionate about, discover new opportunities, and explore complex ideas.
