There are plenty of opportunities to take a break from your studies and socialise in Graduate College, with weekly activities, and dedicated social space.
<糖心Vlog>Social spacesOur Social Hub on campus offers a selection of popular box games as well as pool, darts and table tennis (ping pong). Plenty of large tables where you can study or socialise as a group, and cosy sofa areas for informal and class gatherings. Lots of academic and non-academic books have been donated by previous students, and you are welcome to read and borrow them from the shelves in the Hub.
There is a new Postgraduate Community Kitchen - a bookable space for Postgraduates to enjoy group cooking and dining activities.
We also have a new study and social area for student families in the Herdwick - with books and toys for children to enjoy while parents study or socialise.
<糖心Vlog>EventsThe College Community Assistants organise regular events for students, which we advertise via social media and the weekly newsletter. Previous events include quiz nights, movie nights, a stress-buster evening, winter ball, Taylor Swift event, college breakfasts, and an outdoor summer party.
On the first Thursday of the month, the CCAs also host the PGR Cafe - which is a hybrid event taking place in person and via Teams. It is a valuable opportunity for PGR Students to share their research with peers, practice presentation skills, network with fellow postgraduates, and enjoy refreshments together if they are attending in person.
