Postgraduate Taught (PGT) students often have experiences, expectations, and support needs that differ significantly from those of undergraduate students. Factors such as the intensity and short duration of programmes, diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, competing personal and professional responsibilities, and a strong focus on career outcomes can all influence how students engage with academic advising. This interactive workshop will explore the unique challenges faced by PGT students and consider how academic advising can be adapted to better support their success. Through facilitated discussion and group activities, participants will reflect on current practice, share experiences, and identify practical approaches that can enhance advising relationships and student outcomes. The session will focus on small, achievable changes that can make a meaningful difference to your personal practice. 

Intended learning outcomes

• Identify key differences between the experiences and support needs of PGT and UG students.
• Recognise common challenges that may affect PGT students’ engagement, wellbeing, belonging, and academic success.
• Reflect on how current academic advising approaches may need to be adapted to meet the needs of PGT students.
• Share and evaluate practical strategies that can strengthen academic advising for PGT students.
• Identify small, achievable changes that can be implemented within existing advising practices to enhance the student experience.
