PGSA is the representative organisation for postgraduates at Victoria University of Wellington

The PGSA is managed by a group of postgraduates who volunteer their time to represent their fellow students, encourage excellence, and build community among postgraduate students at VUW who work to ensure you have the best possible academic experience. We run events, co-ordinate postgraduate student representation, and advocate for postgraduate students at VUW.
