At York
From opportunities to share your research findings, to building a stronger next work at University; there are plenty of events for you to meet new people, learn new skills and have a great time.
Find out more about the events we have going on around campus for our Postgraduate Students below.
The York Research Exchange is an informal, peer-led network for postgraduate researchers to connect, share insights, and support one another across disciplines. Meeting twice monthly, each session focuses on a practical theme to help researchers develop skills, reflect on their practice, and navigate postgraduate research life at the University of York.
Sessions are relaxed and discussion-focused, providing a supportive, low-pressure space for the exchange of ideas, interdisciplinary conversations, and community-building. Whether you come to contribute or listen, join us for thoughtful discussion, coffee and cake, and the chance to build your postgraduate researcher network.
