NUS and postgraduates

This weekend I attended the first-ever NUS conference for postgraduates. It was really about time that postgraduates, both taught and research, got the attention they deserve from NUS. I know many students’ unions will be looking to the new postgraduate committee for leadership on engaging postgraduate students in their unions in all their work - academic representation, societies, events and more.

I am delighted to be the first ever representative of taught postgraduate students on NUS’ national executive council, and I’ll be using this blog (among other ways) of keeping postgraduate students updated on the work of the postgraduate committee and NUS more widely.
