Women's Group

Come and join the postgraduate women's group, which is facilitated by the Women's Officer and holds an informal gathering with snacks each month. The group welcomes all postgraduate women, whatever your age, cultural background, area of study or interests. It's a great forum for exchanging ideas and meeting other women! The group also advises the elected UMPA Council which approves and funds projects and advocates on behalf of postgraduate students to the University.
