The PGSA is the official University of Auckland Postgraduate Students Association. We cover all things from providing you with support throughout your studies to bringing some light entertainment to your busy and often stressful schedules.

​

We believe that university isn't just about the grades you get and the research you conduct, but it is also about the connections you make and the memories you create.​

Through the events we run, whether it be socially or academically focussed, we aim to help you create those connections with other like-minded and hard-working students.​

We also work in collaboration with other organisations, such as AUSA, to bring you care packages and wellbeing seminars.
