Your School's PGR Staff-Student Action Meeting, held once a term, provides a valuable opportunity for you to voice your ideas on how positive changes could be made to improve the experience of you and your peers as postgraduate researchers at Royal Holloway. We would encourage PGR students from Masters by Research, MPhil and PhD programmes from all stages to get involved and help make a difference.

This is not and elected role - you simply need to volunteer

A PGR academic rep. is expected to:

• gather feedback from other PGR students and do investigative work that will lead to a positive changes to PGR provision 
• attend comprehensive training provided by the Students’ Union
• attend your School's PGR Staff-Student Action Meeting (SSAM) with academic staff to discuss the feedback you have gathered, as well as hearing from academics about any other matters of interest.  
• feedback the outcome of any meetings / changes achieved with the rest of your cohort – helping all students understand how their feedback can lead to change
• volunteer to sit in the Doctoral School Committee.
