Postgrads are encouraged to take part in societies just as much as undergrads!! My DM in Gamesoc for a while was a PhD student and the group was a mixture of postgrads and undergrads, which was really nice. It's a great way of getting to know people from completely different courses and backgrounds.

Postgraduate Research students (so MRes and PhD) have access to an exclusive part of the library where they are pretty much guaranteed a study space. I've walked past it a hundred times and I've never seen it particularly busy. MA and other taught postgrads normally only get to use it in third term, during exam season -- which kind of sucks, given that they don't have a separate dedicated space, but I appreciate the sentiment. PhD students I believe can also use the Herringham Room, which is a staff space next to Founders Reading Room. Very very atmospheric and very pretty, and a nice place to sit back with a book and do some reading (though I wouldn't know, since I'm an undergrad and I've only passed through as an ambassador a few times haha).

During Welcome Week (Freshers) there are postgrad-exclusive events to meet the team and other postgrad students on your course and other courses, which is great to see! There's also a lot of provision for mature students, which postgrads may also have access to. Alas, I was a baby coming to uni, so I wouldn't know myself </3
