Student Experience | Building a Stronger PGR link to the Union

Early Stages

To strengthen the relationship between Postgraduate Research (PGR) students and the Students’ Union, ensuring PGR voices are better represented, supported, and connected to Union services and decision-making.
Planned Actions:

  • Work with PGR representatives and Union staff to identify barriers to engagement and representation.
  • Improve communication between the Union and PGR students, ensuring opportunities, support, and representation structures are clear and accessible.
  • Explore new ways for PGR students to engage with the Union, including tailored events, communications, and feedback mechanisms.
  • Ensure greater consistency and stronger links with the PGR Education Executive Committee to improve alignment, communication, and representation.

Measures of Success:

  • Increased engagement from PGR students with Union communications, events, and representation structures.
  • Clearer routes for PGR students to feed into Union decision-making and feel represented.

Progress So Far:
