The BDC facilitates a number of different interest groups specifically for PGRs, which provide a chance for you to meet other researchers outside of your Faculty or School.

Sessions for the PGR Clubs will be advertised on the BDC Events Calendar and the fortnightly BDC Bulletin

PGR Film Club​​​​​​​

A chance for PGRs to watch films together with time to chat about films and catch up with other PGRs.  Keep your eye on the Bulletin for polls to choose the film for the next screening.

PGR Board Game Club

Regular evenings in the PGR Hub where you can play games from the Hub's extensive collection.  

PGR Craft Corner

Crazy about Crochet? Mad about macrame? Bring along your projects to do them with fellow crafty PGRs on the first Thursday of every month. Snacks and some craft materials will be provided but feel free to bring your own too. 

Neurodivergent PGR Support Group

The Neurodivergent PGR Support Group is a new community group led by ND PGRs, for ND PGRs! Our aim is to create a space for connection, resource-sharing, and peer support. We alternate meeting online and in person—sign up for the mailing list for updates and the meeting schedule.

There are also some University staff clubs open to PGRs such as football and yoga.
