We're here for PGs

Postgraduate life might seem like it’s all about the degree sometimes, but that’s far from true. Keeping a healthy work-life balance, staying connected with other PGs, and finding support for your studies when necessary are all really important, and here at the Students' Union, we can give you a hand with all of them.

This page is full of resources that will guide and support you – from settling down in London to making friends and finding a community.
