What we aim to achieve:

The Women Graduates Swansea University Society seeks to help women in higher education to progress in academia and achieve successful leadership roles. The society will work to bring university women together locally, nationally, and internationally to showcase their research and academic achievements. Additionally, the WGSUS aims to create network enviroments such as conferences and talks for female students to present their research or area of study.

By joining the WGSUS you will gain a link to the British Federation of Women Graduates and have the opportunity to be connected to Graduate Women International. Postgraduate female students will be able to apply for scholarship funding and emergency grants along with promoting their academic profile by participating in conferences and networking sessions. Members will also have the opportunity to attend BFWG national and international meetings and present alongside female postgraduates of multiple disciplines.

• Events such as talks and conferences
• Food and drinks for the events
• Social outings in the case we need to rent a venue
• Merchandise and Posters
• Trips that need a van or bus rental
