Postgraduate Union

The PGU is dedicated to representing Postgraduate students’ needs and is affiliated to the National Postgraduate Committee (NPC). Run by a committee of students, the PGU can help you make the most of your time at Exeter. Whether you want to meet other postgraduate students in a social setting or need help in dealing with academic or welfare issues, the PGU provides the opportunity.

As well as representing postgraduates at wider meetings, the PGU plans the postgraduate programme for Welcome Week, holds the annual Postgraduate Ball and considers improvements that can be made to enhance the postgraduate experience at Exeter. Throughout the year, the union organises socials, debates, discussion forums, trips and coffee mornings to provide everyone with opportunities to meet other postgraduates, celebrate successes and gives the chance to relax from studying.

The committee is supported by a group of representatives. These cover the interests of students at St Luke’s, Cornwall Campus, international students, the NPC, taught and research programme students. Every postgraduate is automatically a full member of the PGU as well as the Guild and is entitled to their services.
