A warm welcome to the Aston Business School Research
Student Society (ABSRSS) page!
The main aim of ABSRSS is to bring together researchers
with the intention of establishing a network of support among peers during
their years of study. The Society, which was set up by students for fellow
students, organises a diverse range of activities which will enhance both the
academic and social aspects of research life.
Benefits of the ABSRSS and how to join
ABSRSS is part of the Aston Postgraduate Research Society
(APRS) and it is supported by Aston Business School and the Aston Graduate
School. The idea for the Society stemmed from the fact that research students
might spend their tenure at Aston only knowing a handful of people that
constitute their research group. In that vein, the primary objective of the Society
has been to improve social cohesion by organising regular social evenings, BBQs
and pub quizzes, but also academic events, such as research colloquiums.
The best part is that you don’t have to do anything! By
being a postgraduate research student in ABS, you automatically become a member
of ABSRSS and APRS. The Society is Guild-affiliated and is also recognised as a
legitimate body by the School's Research Committee. This
means that you get the best of both worlds: great socials and a mechanism for
your voice to be heard by those who can really make a difference when it comes
to important things like your research and other concerns.
