Representation by Postgrads for Postgrads

The PGSA is proud to have committee representatives on many of the boards and committees around the University, covering every faculty. These boards and committees look at many issues including new courses, resources and space, fees, policy and processes that affect students and staff. Our representatives make sure the views of our students are considered, and contribute towards improving the postgraduate experience at Victoria. Being a postgraduate committee representative offers valuable insight into the University’s administrative processes, providing experience that is beneficial to future careers in academia and elsewhere. If you’re not sure who the postgraduate representative(s) for your faculty is, get in touch with the PGSA and ask!

The PGSA also ensures postgraduate representation on relevant University committees and boards that determine policies. Once we have appointed representatives, we provide training and support to ensure that they are best able to fulfill the roles to which they have been appointed.
