PGR Hub
Relax, make connections, enjoy fun events and further your development in this unique space for Bristol's postgraduate researcher (PGR) community.
The PGR Hub is a cross-disciplinary research collaboration space where you can connect with fellow research students from across the University. The Hub is situated on the second floor of Senate House and is a dedicated space for postgraduate researchers to relax, work together, and attend events and training. All Staff and PGRs can access the Hub using their U-card.

Running your own event in the PGR Hub
The Bristol Doctoral College welcomes ideas for a non-research related social event that could bring PGRs together in the Hub – and can provide funding to help make your idea a reality.
If you want to host an event for all PGRs – for example a workshop, conference or skills session? Please submit your idea via our PGR Development Fund expression of interest form.
I love that the Hub is so close to my office and provides a quiet environment where researchers across all fields are able to come together. As a resource in general, the Hub seems like a great place to meet with PGRs from other departments, have a coffee, and relax during the work day. Staff are always so friendly and ready to help.
