York Student Think Tank

As a think-tank, we mainly produce policy papers on topics proposed by our members. We aim to give students an opportunity to experience policy-writing as a different way of engaging with politics. Through a variety of workshops hosted the first and second terms, we seek to provide students with the skills required to produce good policy ideas. This will include how to conduct both quantitative and qualitative research as well as how to present the finding of research in a professional format. We additionally host speakers from a vast array of fields - aiming to show how ideas and research-based planning can lead to real-life change.
