The Research Symposium is also designed to showcase student research conducted within the department. The PGSA also coordinates social events, such as pub nights and the annual Holiday party, in order to provide opportunities for psychology graduate students to network. Finally, the PGSA holds various fundraising events to support the group’s activities.
