Email Profile |
Post Graduate Research Association (PGRA)
The PGRA is an active and enthusiastic society run by the students themselves.
They meet regularly and are involved in liaising with various student service departments within the University on behalf of research students.
The PGRA arranges a series of seminars in which research students are invited to present to peers within a ‘safe’ environment. It is also responsible for the annual Research Student Conference in May. All are interdisciplinary events which encourage learning and exchange of views across subject areas. All research students are also eligible to join the clubs and societies of the Students’ Union.
