The Postgraduate Union

As soon as you are enrolled on your programme, you become a member of the University of Bristol Union and its Postgraduate Union, which is specifically dedicated to you and your needs and desires as a postgraduate.

The Postgraduate Union acts as your representative on all levels. It voices your concerns and suggestions on the Faculty Board, to the University, within the Students' Union and to national and international bodies.

You can turn to the Postgraduate Union with queries and problems. Whether you are looking for extra training opportunities or need welfare advice, PGU staff can direct you to the appropriate support services. In particular, the Postgraduate Union has the necessary experience with the Student Grievance Procedure to give you advice and practical help if needed.

As a postgraduate, you are invited to join the Students' Union's clubs and societies. On top of this, through various social activities and interest groups, the Postgraduate Union provides ample opportunities to meet postgraduates outside the departmental boundaries.

The Postgraduate Union operates a mailing list to keep you informed about its services and activities. Visit the web-site for instructions on how to sign up.
