PeerPod

A podcast for students, by students, about university life.

 

Launched in 2019 by our Peer Learning Advisors (PLAs), PeerPod is all about the ups and downs of student life. In every episode, our PLA host chats with real students about their lived experiences, as well as expert guests who share their knowledge of support and services available at the university.

 

If you’ve ever wondered what is expected of you at university – like how much time you should study, where to meet new friends, or what to expect if you go to your lecturer’s office hours – then PeerPod is the podcast for you.
