Research Student Rep Elections

This is our first PGR only election. We have a lot of roles to choose from, so have a look at the roles that are up for election! There are roles to support students studying similar topics to you, and roles to sit on high level UWS groups such as the University Senate, the Doctoral College Board, and the Research and Enterprise Advisory Committee. If you are elected to one of these roles you'll be able to help improve the research student experience at UWS for everyone!

The polls have closed.

PGR Senate Representative

The PGR Senate Representative will be the PGR voice on the Senate. The Senate is responsible for overall planning, co-ordination, development and supervision of the academic work of the University and the elected student officers sit on Sentate too. This is an excellent opportunity to sit on one of the highest university committees with senior management; to see how the university works, and to make sure that PGR students are represented at all levels at UWS.

Doctoral College Board Members (2 places)

There are two positions for Doctoral Students on the Doctoral College Board. The Doctoral College is responsible for addressing issues related to the doctoral student experience including registration, research studies, progression, and assessment of doctoral students. They also review and monitor the conditions of doctoral candidates.

Research and Innovation Committee Members (2 places)

There are two places for doctoral students on the Research and Enterprise Advisory Committee. This committee is responsible for the development of research and enterprise at UWS, and makes recommendations to Senate - one of the highest committees in the University.
