About www.cpgrad.org.uk
The purpose of this Christian postgraduate student site is to gather
resources and information to encourage Christian postgraduates (and postdocs!) and all
those reaching out with Christ's love to the rapidly growing
postgraduate student community, especially in the UK.
The number of postgraduate students in the UK has grown
dramatically in the last few years. At some universities (like Oxford
and Cambridge) they now make up over 50% of the annual intake. A
significant fraction of these are international. Many postgraduates
are isolated from the undergraduate community, and international
postgraduates in particular can struggle to integrate into local
Christian groups. For that reason focussed outreach to postgraduate students is needed.
This website also helps support Remi Tobler with Friends International, who works
in partnership with local churches, existing
Christian postgraduate groups,
UCCF and subject groups.
