Thinking about a Masters or PhD? Postgrad LIVE Belfast is your chance to interrogate universities in person (legally, of course). Ask any awkward funding questions, find out what postgraduate life is really like, and also learn how to land a place at a university. There's also a talks programme running throughout the day if you fancy sitting down for a bit whilst listening to some pretty valuable postgrad information at the same time.

The best part? It's completely FREE to attend.

The fair will be open from 12pm, but the pre-fair talk, Postgrad 101, will start at 11:15am.

What's in it for you at Postgrad LIVE:

University Exhibitions

Various universities from the UK and beyond are here to speak with YOU. Have a chat, get personalised advice, and raid their merch stand.

Specialist Talks

Talks delivered by experts to help you nail your research proposal, figure out funding, or brush up on the basics. Basically, get the practical advice you need so the next steps don't make you cry.

"Ask Us Anything" Zone

Our postgrad experts and former students are ready for your questions, everything from funding nightmares to 'do I actually need to read this book?'. They'll be able to share honest advice and real experiences.

Networking Opportunities

Meet with and chat to other potential postgrad students on the same journey as you. Yes, it's technically networking, but it's less awful than it sounds.

Personalised Advice

Talk to reps who actually know their stuff and leave with advice that isn't one-size-fits-all. We promise you'll thank us later!

Real Student Experiences

Get the inside scoop from those who've been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale. Spoiler: coffee and persistence played a starring role.

What to expect on the day

Postgrad LIVE has two main areas to explore:

The Exhibition Hall - A space full of university stands where you can chat directly with representatives.

Talks Programme -This runs alongside the fair and you can dip in and out of both. Feel free to join as many as you like or none at all.

We've also got an "Ask Us Anything" zone where you can fire away with all your questions about funding, applications, student life and more, and get honest answers from our postgraduate experts.

Postgrad 101: Who? What? Where? When? How? - The postgraduate world can be a confusing, acronym-filled place. If you don't know your MRes from your MPhil, this talk is for you.

12:30pm – 1:15pm

Covering the cost of your Masters - Find out the true cost of a Masters and how to pay for it. This talk walks you through what you need to budget for, what funding sources are out there and how to access them with examples from Masters students who have been in your shoes.

1:30pm – 2:30pm

Writing a research proposal masterclass - The research proposal makes or breaks your application. Learn what you should and shouldn't include and get valuable tips and advice from previous successful PhD students with real experience.
