As a postgraduate student, you're more likely to face very different issues from undergraduates. The Postgraduate Union (PGU) represents postgraduate students to the Students' Guild and to the University. If you're a postgraduate student, you're automatically a member of the PGU.
The Postgraduate Union is the part of the Students' Guild dedicated to postgraduates. The PGU committee is made up of current students who represent postgraduates at University and Guild meetings and organise social events for postgrads throughout the year.
There are specific reps for International students, those in Cornwall and on St Luke's campus, taught and research course reps and social event organisers. There is also a core committee responsible for the running of the PGU and so whatever your background they should be able to cover anything that arises.
They plan the postgraduate program for welcome week, several trips and socials throughout the year and the Postgraduate Ball every January in honour of the Winter Graduation ceremony. This gives everyone ample opportunity to meet other postgrads in our community and celebrate our successes as well as to relax from studying occasionally.
Together the committee tries to ensure all postgraduates get the most from their time at the University of Exeter. They make sure the voice and issues of the postgraduates are raised and work closely with the Graduate School and the Guild to achieve this. Their website is linked from the Students' Guild website and, amongst other things, includes a list of contacts if you have any questions.
