Ask a Grad Student

How Can We Help You?

Want to talk to one of our graduate students about their tips and tricks to having a successful grad studies experience? Or how to best prepare before you arrive? Or perhaps you are still undecided as to whether to apply to grad school? Then why not talk to one of our Graduate Inclusivity Fellows (GIFs)?

Check out the profiles our each of our GIFs below and see who they are and what they are willing to talk about. Then just click on the link provided for the GIF and you can fill out a form with your question(s). As our GIFs are also current graduate students at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, it may take up to three days for a response, so please be patient!

Please note that our GIFs have no involvement with decisions around admissions, funding and courses. They can, however, advise you on resources available to you as a graduate student and of their personal experiences in navigating the challenges of grad school.

If you want to learn more about each of our GIFs, you can check out our Graduate Inclusivity Fellow page.
