Highlight: Postgraduate Experience Award

One of the standout moments of the evening was the recognition of the School of Education 'Buddy Up' Peer Mentors with the Postgraduate Experience Award. This award celebrates our significant efforts in enhancing the postgraduate experience at Exeter.

Our innovative events and activities have been pivotal in creating a welcoming environment for postgraduate students. From hosting social gatherings to providing academic and pastoral guidance, we have ensured that every student feels valued and supported. The success of our program is reflected in this prestigious award, highlighting the positive impact we have made on the postgraduate experience at Exeter.
