Politics, International Relations and National Security Student Association at the University of Canberra

University of Canberra's Politics, International Relations and National Security Student Association (PIRaNaS)

About Us
PIRaNaS is the student-led Academic Club associated with the Bachelor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Canberra. We are an inclusive and non-partisan organisation interested in bringing like-minded people together and providing them with a forum to discuss issues relating to politics, international relations and national security through constructive dialogue.

Since our inception in 2011, PIRaNaS has sought to provide our members with resources that go beyond the classroom to promote a standard of excellence in professional development and academia among students. We connect the leaders and professionals of tomorrow with their contemporary counterparts to improve our members' readiness to make immediate and meaningful contributions to our community.
