I am the University’s professional services lead responsible for postgraduate student affairs. Based in Student Services, I have oversight of the University Graduate School and work closely with academic leads and other professional services directors to improve postgraduate provision and student experience institutionally.

I am responsible for leading and managing the University Graduate School Team. This includes working closely with the University's senior leadership and cross-University liaison with academic and professional service colleagues of all levels to ensure a high quality PGR student experience.

My role is focused on building a multidisciplinary and inclusive postgraduate community. I develop and facilitate engagement and wellbeing activities for PGRs. This includes leading the University Graduate School’s flagship PGR events such as the Annual Postgraduate Research Festival, the Three-Minute Thesis and the Images of Research competitions.

As Data Officer I support the University Graduate School team with their data and reporting needs. I lead on the PGR Annual Programme Review, and do the qualitative analysis of responses to the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES). I also monitor progress on the Race Equality Charter impact measures and UGS community engagement and am Secretary to the Graduate Research Board.

I provide clerical support to the Head of UGS. I am responsible for the day to day administration and co-ordination of UGS, alongside the PGR Administrative Assistant. I also support the UGS team as a whole by managing the school’s budgets and assisting in general office activities.

My role is to provide administrative support to the University Graduate School by dealing with student queries and assisting the UGS Administrator. I work closely with the PG Community Engagement Officer by providing logistical support for UGS Events and helping with UGS social media accounts.

I look after the planning, organisation, delivery and evaluation of careers support activities and resources especially for Postgraduate Researchers. The aim of my service is to help support PGRs in making decisions about their future career, exploring their career options and making effective applications. This includes running workshops at Westmere and around the University, as well as online resources and one-to-one support.

My role, based in the Research Skills Team in Library Services, is to co-ordinate and deliver development activities and workshops for postgraduate researchers (PGR). I support PGRs in their development of a wide range of research and transferable skills and facilitate workshops such as Development Needs Analysis, Reading and Note-making, Academic Writing, Viva Preparation, and Productivity.
