Gilchrist postgraduate clubThe University is opening the Gilchrist Postgraduate Club, a new facility which will provide catering facilities, a flexible seminar and lecture space and a bar facility for all staff and postgraduate students.

The name was chosen to honour Marion Gilchrist, the first female graduate of the University of Glasgow, and the first woman to gain a medical degree in Scotland – 2012 marks the 60th anniversary of her death.

The Gilchrist Postgraduate Club is located in The Gilbert Scott Building, opposite One A- The Square.  Access is granted through a swipe-card entry system with a staff or student card.

The Postgraduate Club will formally open on the 26th October with a night of stand-up comedy courtesy of Glasgow’s Bright Club, featuring academics and postgraduate students from across Glasgow.

Gilchrist postgraduate club 2Stef Black, the University’s Postgraduate Development Officer said “We hope that the Gilchrist Postgraduate Club will offer the University’s postgraduate students and staff a welcoming environment where they can socialise and study on-campus. We would encourage anyone who is interested to come along and take a look.”
