Postgraduate Physics Students’ Society

An academic and social group that brings students together and gives them a voice in the School of Physics.

The Postgraduate Physics Students’ Society (PPSS) is an academic and social group within the School of Physics (SoP), funded by the University of Melbourne Student Union and the Graduate Students’ Association. Our role lies mainly in giving research students in the SoP a representative voice in the decision making processes, and in organising social events for professional and academic staff, and students.
