Question 1

What is MUN? 🌐

Accepted Answer

MUN is a simulation of the UN, where we debate global issues as country representatives.

Question 2

Who can join? 👋

Accepted Answer

Any UoB student can join—no experience or specific degree required!

Question 3

Do I need experience? 📘

Accepted Answer

Nope! We have beginner-friendly training sessions. Note to experienced MUNers: we follow an adapted form of LIMUN procedure.

Question 4

When are the sessions? 🕓

Accepted Answer

Mondays, 7-9 pm Location TBC for 2025/26

Question 5

How do I sign up for conferences? ✍️

Accepted Answer

We announce conferences year-round, and you can sign up based on interest. They're announced in the WhatsApp community when they're available.

Question 6

What does it cost? 💰

Accepted Answer

Membership is £8 and the link to purchase can be found in the LinkTree. We unfortunately are unable to cover the costs for members to compete. In the future we're looking to create a hardship fund, but at the moment, this is not possible.

Question 7

How can I join the WhatsApp community? 📱

Accepted Answer

We share the WhatsApp link in person at sessions only, to keep it secure from scammers. Join us at a session to get the link!

Question 8

When do I get a country?🗺️

Accepted Answer

We give out new countries every week, and for every session! So, you’ll find out your country on the night ✨ We tend to give country allocations according to experience and involvement. We always do our best to be fair, but when it comes to MUN it really is about the delegate not the country.
You’ll have time to do research before the debate starts so don’t worry! 😉

Question 9

What conferences do you attend? 🏆

Accepted Answer

As a society, we attend a wide range of Model UN conferences throughout the year. You can find our public conference calendar — including the chairs we’re sending — via our Linktree 📅.

We don’t attend every conference on the list, but we’ll keep you updated on which ones we’re officially attending on a sessional basis 🔔.

✨ For newer delegates, we recommend choosing conferences where UoB chairs or experienced delegates are attending — this helps create a support system and makes the experience more enjoyable.

All members are responsible for organising their own logistics 🧳. If you choose to attend a conference that isn't recommended or widely attended by the society, please be aware that you may be going alone.
