We are a group organised by families and the GSA aimed at University families. It has links with all the major LGBT groups in the city and is part of planning and delivery of LGBT history month and York Pride. The network is also a platform to explore possibilities about increasing visibility and raising awareness about LGBTQ issues within the University and in the greater context. This network is a great way to meet other LGBTQ+ postgraduates in the University and make loads of friends.The LGBTQ network is one of those few instances where students from all disciplines get a chance to sit down and enjoy a few drinks and talk about their shared interests.

The group meets regularly throughout the year and we’re a friendly bunch, so just come along! We’ve set up a network for PhD students who want to get to know one another socially find out what other research is taking place at the University and learn from others. We do regular events, whether that be a Pub Quiz or a board games cafe, there’s always opportunities to hang out and make friends. Our Master’s Network is a community of students all doing their master’s and relaxing together. But it’s all too easy to concentrate on the academic side of things and not let yourself unwind. This is a place for you to meet others who are doing things the same way you are and to share the experience together.ĭoing your master’s can be a brilliant experience. It might be that you’re doing it part-time or that you’re a long-distance student who’s doing it all online. It’s a space to socialise, share ideas and experiences, and can help you get involved in University-wide campaigns if you want to shape the BAME student experience at York during your time here.įor some of us at York, postgraduate study is a slightly different shape. This Network is for postgraduate students who self define as BAME. Students with any disability are welcome regardless of whether that’s a physical or an invisible disability. If you identify as a postgraduate student with a disability, you are more than welcome here. Things are slightly different at the moment due to the Covid-19 situation but we’ll still have activities this year and we’ll do more when things open up fully in York.ĭo you like food? So do we! The GSA Food Network is for those of us who like appreciate the finer things in life, such as eating good food whether it’s in a restaurant or making it ourselves. The Nights Out Network organises a range of social activities including pub crawls, karaoke nights, and group gig trips. Nights out together are a great way to make friends and enjoy your time here at York. We have a few sub-groups within this Network, so if you’re interested in meeting and socialising with others from your home region you can do that here too. We’re here to share in each others’ cultures, help each other out, and have fun together. If you’re classified as an EU student or an Overseas student by the University, this Network is for you.
