Arts PGT Network

The Arts PGT Network is here to support you through what can be an intense and fast-paced year. We understand that juggling academic work, career planning, and everything in between can be both exciting and overwhelming — and we’re here to help you make the most of your time in the Faculty of Arts.

Our aim is to build an inclusive, collaborative, and supportive community where Arts PGT students can connect, share experiences, and grow both academically and professionally. Whether you're looking to make new friends, develop your skills, or simply find your feet, the Network is a space for you.

We offer a range of opportunities tailored to your needs, including:

• Professional events – like CV clinics and sessions with alumni

• Academic support – including writing sessions and peer study groups

• Social activities – from wellbeing walks and film screenings to pub quizzes

The Network is designed to be a platform you can shape and use — to access resources, find community, and collaborate with others. If you have ideas, feedback, or events you’d like to see, we’d love to hear from you.
