BUHMUN aims to ignite a passion for global change in high school students, inspiring them to explore further studies in fields such as international relations, law, and journalism. Through engaging in discussions and real-world problem-solving, BUHMUN offers a glimpse into the dynamic learning environment at Bond University. Students who participate may find themselves drawn to the university’s programs, including a Bachelor of International Relations, a double degree in International Relations and Law, or Journalism. Within these courses, a range of enriching extracurricular opportunities and programs are available to equip students with the skills necessary for a global-minded career.
The BUHMUN Newsroom is a dynamic, student‑run newsroom that mirrors the real role of the global press at the United Nations. BUHMUN student journalists learn the fundamentals of interviewing, news writing and mobile photography and videography, then cover the BUHMUN proceedings. Together, reporters chase tip‑offs, interview delegates, file breaking updates, craft stories, edit content and publish live coverage directly to the BUHMUN audience.
By reporting on committees and crises as they unfold, BUHMUN reporters experience firsthand how journalism supports transparency and accountability within institutions of power. The experience is an authentic insight into future careers in journalism, social media, communication, film and TV and other creative arts, while also building storytelling skills that are valuable far beyond the newsroom.
