About Us
The politics postgraduate community here at Newcastle University is a diverse environment, with MAs, MPhils, PhDs, full time, and part time students, from all around the world, working on a variety of different subjects. People have different interests, priorities and goals. The aim of the Politics Postgraduate Society is to be a forum for postgraduate students to come together and share these interests and concerns with one another, be that over a coffee, a movie or after a seminar.
