Postgraduate Society
The Postgraduate Society is dedicated to representing Postgraduate students’ needs and is affiliated to the National Postgraduate Committee (NPC). Run by a committee of students, it 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 Postgraduate Society provides the opportunity.
As well as representing postgraduates at wider meetings, the Postgraduate Society 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 Postgraduate Society as well as the Guild and is entitled to their services.

Other Students' Guild societies in Exeter
In Exeter, thousands of students sign up to over 170 different Guild-affiliated societies. These societies cover a wide range of activities enabling our students to get fully involved with university life. Societies range from Archaeology, Jazz Orchestra and the Expedition Society to the Lit Soc, Photosoc, Ski Club and Welsh Societies. You can get involved with the running of any of these and if there’s a club you want that we don’t have, we’ll help you set it up. The full list is available on the Guild website.
The range of clubs and societies is a cornerstone of the Cornwall Campus, with FXU providing practical support, as well as subsidies for many activities to help reduce the cost of getting involved. Clubs vary from the traditional sports of rugby, football and hockey to the more unusual paddleboarding and Tremorz (street dance). Other popular groups include the Hip Hop Society, Exploration, Bee Soc and the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Society. There’s an ever-growing list of student clubs, so if we don’t currently have the one you want, FXU will help you set your own up once you’re here! The full list is available on the FXU website.
