The Aston Postgraduate Research Society (APRS) was founded in 2010 with the aim of encouraging collaboration between Schools of Study and research groups which in turn could lead to further research, but more importantly, improve social and academic experiences of research students across the University.

Regular events have been held since the Society was set up which include pub quizzes, screening of the PhD comics movie, TEDtalks and welcome events. There are plans to organise a postgraduate research sports day, a poster event, and a summer ball in 2013; details of these can be found in the APRS calendar.
All new postgraduate students automatically become a member once they have enrolled. To keep up to date with APRS news and events, please register your interest by joining the APRS facebook page ‘Aston Postgraduate Research Society’ and sending an email request to Paolo Rosa (rosap@aston.ac.uk) to be added to the APRS mailing list.

We look forward to meeting you at this year’s events!
