What are Grad Groups?
GSA’s Grad Groups are vibrant student-led societies designed to foster interaction, well-being, and learning opportunities among the diverse graduate student community at the University of Melbourne, Grad Groups are the heartbeat of our campus.
Joining a Grad Group opens up a world of opportunities. Countless students have discovered new friendships, forged valuable professional connections, and developed their passions. After joining a Grad Group, students from around the globe find a welcoming community where they can connect with others who share their interests, cultural background or language in their new academic environment.

As international students, we miss our parents, our countries and our cultures, so being part of a grad group helps overcome that by meeting new people and celebrating festivals with friends here.
