Who supports you?

Faculty PGR Directors and School PGR Leads can provide academic and process support and advice, alongside your supervisory team.

PGR Representatives collate your ideas and concerns and feedback to School and University committees where policies are developed. 

Student Experience and Support Officers (SESOs) work closely with student services and can offer support and advice about your studies or life outside of them.
