the lonely postgrad club |

The Lonely Postgrad Club is the crux of the vision of The Lonely Postgrad brand. The Lonely Postgrad Club is an area where you can:

  • Meet other postgraduates

  • Gain access to exclusive content and discounts on digital resources available through The Lonely Postgrad shop.

  • Join social and training events

  • Get career development advice

  • Get advice on applying to a postgraduate degree (Masters or PhD)

  • Get feedback on your work and give back to others

  • Seek mentorship from students who have gone before

  • Read weekly blog posts on topical issues and get tips for managing your workload and studies.

10% of every membership subscription goes towards the Hardship Fund, and members are eligible to apply for Hardship Grants of up to £200 to go towards study resources and travel costs.

Over the last few months we have been building a community which is supportive, uplifiting and enables every student to achieve their best. The opportunities are endless, and we’d love you to be a part of it. For a once-off lifetime membership you can have access to all of the above. Please scroll down for more information on the perks of becoming a member.

If you’d like to be one of the first to try out the club and to have a role in shaping its development, or hear when it launches fully, let us know here:

  • Digital networking and social connection

    Struggling to know what you need to do to secure an offer to the Postgraduate programme of your choice? Unclear on how to progress from Masters to PhD?

  • Hardship Grants

    10% of every membership subscription goes towards the Lonely Postgrad Hardship Fund. Whilst we hope to be able to offer more eventually, currently The Hardship Fund can offer grants of up to £200 to contribute to study resources, or travel where there is evidenced need. Grants are paid twice yearly, in January and September.
