Think that Freshers’ have all the fun? Think again! The Northumbria PGR Society is a society for PhD, MPhil, MRes and ProfDoc (other postgrads, MA, MSc are welcome too!) students studying at Northumbria because we know that the PGR experience is about more than just writing a thesis. We aim to bring together PGR students from all backgrounds and from across disciplines for social events, academics seminars and trips around the region! So whether you’re just starting out on your PGR adventure or are nearing the end of your studies, we’d love for you to join us.
What do we do?
We meet often for informal social gatherings in venues around the city and beyond. We organise different types of events so that nobody's left out. Here are some of the activities we have organised in the past: regular dining out events, Bright Club comedy night, Bonfire Night, lunchtime events for those with families, day trips to Durham and Hadrian's Wall, 3 day trip to the Lake District, Picnics, Bowling, afternoon tea, yoga class etc.
2021 Events coming your way very soon: Fresher's Week full of activities (4th October-8th October); Welcome and Leavers Halloween Party (30th October); Winter Ball (January). And many others in-between!
Our academic conferences, seminars and doctoral dilemmas sessions are a great way to share your ideas, research, experiences and queries regarding all things PGR!
