WELCOME TO THE POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION

The PGSA


The PGSA is the representative body for all postgraduate students at the University of Nottingham, and all current postgraduate students including part-time are automatically members.
Our aim is to make the postgraduate experience as enjoyable and rewarding as possible. We run social events throughout the year, organise sports teams, look after welfare issues, and represent postgraduate interests on University committees.

Please have a look around the site and see what we have to offer, and please visit regularly to keep up to date with all our news. We'll advertise all upcoming events here, as well as providing you with news from around the University which affects postgraduates. We hope you will find it useful.

The Students Union are considering improving their provisions for students with families. This could be by ensuring better communication with University services, by encouraging regular forums for parents or the creation of an association for those with children. If you're interested in adding your opinion to find the best way to help out students with family commitments then send an email to pgsa@nottingham.ac.uk
