NUS Postgraduate Forum - Bath

a

The second NUS Postgraduate Forum took place last Saturday in Bath.

Postgraduate representatives from all over the UK gathered to discuss postgraduate issues and share best practise.

The following took place:

• Professor Jane Millar, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Research at the University of Bath gave on talk on sustaining the postgraduate experience in a harsh funding climate.
• the results of the PGR Employment Survey were presented to the forum.
• we shared our practises and priorities in an interative plenary session.
• we looked into the economics of PGT study, the costs of different courses and how it is funded.
• we closed by discussing whether research should be concentrated into fewer Universities.

Many thanks to the NUS, Aaron Porter, Debbie McVitty, George-Konstantis Charonis and Richard Guthrie for arranging the forum.
