The National University of Singapore Political Science Society (PSSOC) was founded in 1967, mainly for the benefit of undergraduates majoring in Political Science at NUS. The society serves as a bridge between students and staff of the Department. It also seeks to raise awareness about current affairs issues among the student population. To this end, membership in PSSOC is open to all students who have an interest in local and international political, economic and social affairs. In recent years, students from fields and disciplines as diverse as engineering, law, medicine and science have joined PSSOC and its activities.
