- Bringing students together around shared interests, experiences and concerns, helping them develop campaigns, projects and activities that improve the postgraduate experience.
- Gathering feedback, insights and evidence to inform campaigns, priorities and service improvements.
- Reviewing existing postgraduate initiatives and identifying opportunities for growth and improvement.
These roles are designed to be flexible, offering post holders the opportunity to develop and implement their own ideas alongside helping shape how the SU engages with postgraduate students.
