The Model UN acts as an integral part of the curriculum of second year International Relations  students in that it allows them the opportunity to experience – and hence to understand – multilateral diplomacy within the context of an increasingly globalised world and also implants, ideally, a passion for current affairs within students – both of which are essential for further studies in the discipline of international relations.

This year a number of MDips (Master of Diplomatic Studies) students – all of whom are senior diplomats – acted as the adjudicators, with quite a number of representatives from various embassies attending the simulation. After three hours of intense and high quality debate, as attested to by the adjudicators and attendants, Indonesia emerged victorious.
