Loads of brilliant events for Postgraduates

We’re your Postgraduate Students’ Union, representing you since 1965, and we are delighted to welcome you to the University of York.

Delivering the UK’s biggest Postgraduate Welcome Week we’ve made sure that there’s something for everyone this year. We’ve got some of the biggest events, from Formal Dinners to our Welcome Festival, to plenty of online options, casual day time events, and Postgrad sports.

Welcome Events takes place between the 11th September and the 29th September.

What are Networks?

GSA Networks are student-run groups led by two Network Coordinators who organise social activities just for you. Our first Network event begins on the 19th September, but there will be lots more throughout the year. Sign up to the Networks now to gain access to their events, as not all Network events are published centrally by the GSA
