VP Engagement · PSU
Postgraduate Students' Union · University of Limerick
I want every postgraduate student at UL to feel
informed, connected, and truly at home — whether you're from Ireland or coming from across the world.
My Commitments
✈️
PSU Pre-Arrival Connect
Building on UL's Buddy Programme and orientation activities, I'll make sure students are introduced to PSU early — with clear, accessible information before they even land in Limerick.
International Students
📅
First 30 Days Survival Series
Simple, practical guidance on accommodation, transport, and settling into life at UL — so your first month feels manageable, not overwhelming.
All Postgrads
☘️
Irish Culture & Community
Engaging activities to explore local traditions, history, and social life — creating shared experiences that bring Irish and international students together and build a real sense of community.
Culture & Belonging
🌍
Global Connect Programme
Working with societies and PSU channels to create inclusive events — cultural exchange nights, mixed-group socials, and team activities that encourage you to step beyond your usual circles.
Community Building
🤝
Connect & Grow Sessions
Relaxed, informal spaces to network, share experiences, and build meaningful connections — developed with the PSU President and VP Academic so they're built around what students actually need.
Networking
🎓
Master's × PhD Pathways
Working with PhD Officers to create opportunities for Master's students to connect with PhD students — helping you understand future academic pathways through real experiences and honest conversations.
Academic Growth
🎵
Sports, Music & More
Improving awareness and access to opportunities beyond academics — so getting involved in sport, music, dance, and other activities feels easy and welcoming, not hard to find.
Life Outside Study
🎉
A Postgrad Ball to Remember
Building excitement around the Postgraduate Ball from the very start of year — making it the social highlight it deserves to be, with every student feeling part of it.
Events
"I don't just want students to study at UL — I want everyone to feel like they truly belong here."
