Welcome to OUCA: 101 Years of Defining Conservatism

Welcome to OUCA, the largest student political society in Europe and the principal home of Conservative thought at Oxford University. While OUCA primarily exists to articulate the Conservative voice within the University, promote Conservative ideas, and provide a forum for students to discuss politics and policy, our commitment to free speech is at the very heart of everything we do: we are dedicated to fostering open and rigorous debate with those of all political persuasions. You do not need to be a Conservative to come to OUCA, and you don’t even need to be a Member to come to most of our events; OUCA will welcome you with open arms regardless.

Our Term Card for Hilary 2026 is currently under construction: check again soon to explore the fantastic array of speakers and social events we are planning for next term.

We are perhaps best known for ‘Port and Policy’ — our flagship debating and social event, and (in my opinion) the undisputed highlight of the Oxford week. Entry is free when you purchase Membership on the door, and includes as much port as you can (safely) drink. Port and Policy is held every Sunday at 20:30; this term, it will be in the Macmillan room of the Oxford Union.

We also host speaker events with a variety of Conservative figures, including former Prime Ministers (most recently, David Cameron and Liz Truss), offer an exciting range of social events, take part in campaigning efforts for the Party, and volunteer in the local community.

You can purchase Membership here, and follow us on Facebook or Instagram to stay updated. I hope to see you at OUCA soon!

Yours,

Maya Kapila
