Postgraduates

Postgraduate Student Life

Sancta Sophia offers a peaceful and harmonious residency to a growing number of postgraduate men and women, and visiting academics.

We provides truly genuine, friendly and supportive environment and embrace diversity of student backgrounds and study interests.

Resident postgraduates are able to become members of the College’s Senior Common Room (SCR). As a member of the SCR you experience a number of unique benefits, opportunities of responsibility, employment, a sense of camaraderie, community and support.  These include:

• Exclusive access to a senior common room which is furnished with lounges and a newly installed flat screen TV with foxtel
• Invitations to the College’s regular Senior Common Room Academic Dinners, which formally unites resident postgraduates in a social and intellectual environment and fosters a sense of community and belonging
• Invitations to the University of Sydney’s Inter-College postgraduate social functions. Each College hosts a social function throughout the year for postgraduates who reside in any of the University Colleges
• Opportunity for casual employment as Sancta tutors to the resident undergraduates
• Opportunity to be employed as one of the Sancta Resident Assistants (RAs)

Many of the postgraduate bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and are generally located in the quieter areas of the College.
