► National Postgrad Committee
The National Postgraduate Committee
The National Postgraduate Committee (NPC) was set up in 1992 to represent the interests of taught and research postgraduates. It is a registered charity, funded through affiliation fees from student unions and associations and by individual donations, and provides an independent and authoritative information resource for current and prospective postgraduates. Much of the web-based material, see www.npc.org.uk, is open access, with some resource areas restricted to affiliate organisations. Some useful NPC website resources and information are shown below:
About Postgraduates, http://www.npc.org.uk/essentials/postgraduates.
Here you will find a wealth of things from top tips for postgraduates who teach and what it's like to be a postgraduate through to more serious advice on how to make a complaint or appeal as a postgraduate. This is especially useful for postgraduates who are reluctant to go to their student representative body because they will possibly be approaching an undergraduate. NPC's contact details are also provided to help advise any students further by email. All the links within this directory are always worth linking to.

The postgraduate funding guide, for any prospective postgraduates that might look at the site - http://www.npc.org.uk/funding.
NPC's publications, freely available at
http://www.npc.org.uk/essentials/publications, which can be linked to as a way of showing how your support as affiliates is enabling NPC to produce research evidence on a number of issues including postgraduate funding, student complaints and postgraduate welfare matters. There are also our Guidelines Series publications listed there to assist institutions and student representative bodies in better support of postgraduates.

NPC's newsletter, pn, freely available with back issues at http://www.npc.org.uk/pn. This is obviously our main point of communication, and it is always worth announcing to individual postgraduates as well as our main representative contacts. Now and then NPC also produces a template article that institutions can place into their own newsletter to inform individuals what important work NPC is doing on a national level for the benefit of their postgraduates. Also any articles from pn can be used to inform articles in individual newsletters.
NPC's features archive, http://www.npc.org.uk/features. Again this is very useful in terms of informing individuals about the latest news from NPC, where articles are regularly placed online.
NPC's policy responses, http://www.npc.org.uk/essentials/policy. Not every individual postgraduate will find NPC's policy responses the most comprehensive to read, although they are nonetheless on file in this directory to see what exact policy text NPC has produced when responding to consultations and other formal enquiries, normally as the only organisation able to do so from the postgraduate perspective. Our newsletter and features archive will update individuals on what consultation responses we have made in the past.
Research Together Resources, http://www.npc.org.uk/researchtogether. NPC has made a link with ResearchTogheter.com, who have online resources for research students to network with other research students in their area and gain a gateway to a wealth of other information and resources.
