Researcher community

Each faculty runs a Student Engagement Forum around three to four times a year in which PGR academic representatives from each department, Students’ Union staff, and staff from the University meet to discuss the experiences of colleagues in each Department.

Your departmental representatives are available to raise important issues from the PGR community and disseminate central information.

The postgraduate society organise e​vents and activities for all taught or research postgraduate ​studen​​ts at the University of Surrey. It's our mission to build an active, supportive, and inclusive postgraduate community that is represented within the University and its Union. 

What happens when the University of Surrey’s world-class academic and research staff share the stage with side-splitting comedians?

Described as ‘the thinking person’s comedy night’, Bright Club is an event that transforms academics into comedians for one night only with highly entertaining (and surprisingly educational!) results.

Staff from the University are taken to a local pub where they are given just a few minutes each to spin their specialism into comedy gold, and hopefully teach something along the way, alongside headlining professional comedians.

Bright Club Guildford happens once per term and makes its home at popular community arts and music venue The Boileroom.
