The Research Students Support Group (RSSG) was created in 1992 to provide a forum for discussion of academic, social and administrative issues relating to research students. It is organised solely by research students and all research candidates are automatically members of the group and invited to attend all meetings. The RSSG meets to discuss a variety of topics and the minutes and reports arising from these meetings are circulated amongst the University research community.
Although the RSSG does not directly influence the development and implementation of research policy in the University, it makes a contribution to the research culture and has a representative research student member on the University Research Committee (URC).
