Postgraduates

What does postgraduate(su) do? 

Great question! We’re here to be your voice at the University. Whether it’s improving your academic experience or ensuring you’ve got the right spaces to study, relax, and socialise, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what we’re all about: 

• Representing YOU at the PGR Executive, Graduate School Forums, and in all the university meetings where postgraduate concerns are on the agenda. 
• Putting on brilliant events throughout the year to help you balance your studies with some downtime. We know life as a postgrad can be busy, so we focus on the quieter periods (Winter and Summer!) to keep you connected and energised. Check out our events calendar and follow us on social media so you don’t miss a thing! 
• Running the PG Assembly and PG Committee. These aren’t just meetings — they’re your opportunity to influence real change. As a postgraduate, you’re automatically a member of the Postgraduate Assembly, and if you’re passionate about getting involved, you can stand for election to the Postgraduate Committee. These groups meet throughout the year and give you a platform to hold your reps to account and ensure your voice is heard. 

Who runs it?

postgraduate(su) is run by your fellow students and includes the Postgraduate Education Officer (a full-time role), the Postgraduate Committee, and the Postgraduate Assembly. Got a question or just fancy a chat? Feel free to pop into our Voice and Representation department in the Union Office — we’re always happy to talk through any issues or ideas you have.

Want to get involved? 

Got an idea or a concern? Don’t keep it to yourself — get involved! Whether it’s popping into our office for a quick chat or attending one of our democratic forums, your voice drives the change we make. If you’ve got big ideas, the Postgraduate Education Officer is directly accountable to you, so let’s make great things happen together.
