About Us

The Health Sciences Postgraduate Association (HeSPA) brings together postgraduate students in the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. We run networking and professional development events, as well as host fun quiz nights for students.

Our mission is to:

  • Create supportive environments for postgraduate students to engage and connect with one another
  • Foster professional development, skill development and preparedness for post-HDR careers

Whether you are looking to meet new people, learn from seasoned veterans, or just have fun, our events are not to be missed! Stay tuned for our social events and workshops throughout the year.
