You wont necessarily always do modules with everyone else on your course.
So Club of PEP provides a structure in which you can meet other people.
From the moment you arrive in York you're automatically a member of the Club of PEP
and there's no fee for joining.
When you first come to York we'll put you into families
so you can start meeting people from your course.
When we first arrive we get put into groups together with 3 or 4 of our course-mates.
And second and third years acting as our mentors.
We have a number of socials,
including a 12 hour ball, Christmas dinner and an annual trip abroad.
We've been to places like Brussels, Berlin and the Hague.
Some of the most remarkable activities in the School of Politics, Economics and Philosophy
are initiated by the students themselves.
We get a variety of speakers coming in: leaders from industry, top academics and public figures.
It's an opportunity for people to get their teeth into difficult and actual topics.
Every term the Club of PEP publishes an academic journal.
We have two student editors that sit on the Club of PEP committee.
And they'll choose the articles from the students submitted based on the theme for that term.
PEP students are ambitious, enthusiastic and hard working.
Over their three years at York they get very good at running their own lives.
I guess you could say that one thing a PEP student learns while they're here is how to
become a mover and shaker.
Some of them already are, of course.
Once a member, always a member.
Recent graduates, now in industry, are contactable through this network for advice and help.
Club of PEP membership puts you in a professional network for life.
In the Club of PEP you'll be surrounded by individuals who are
reading the great philosophers, engaged in politics and have an aptitude for economics.
The debate doesn't just stop when you leave the seminar room.
