Most of Aston's research in EPS subject areas is undertaken in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (EAS) with areas of excellence in the other Schools (notably Aston Business School and the School of Life and Health Sciences).EAS has recently moved its research to an Institute structure, building on the world-leading success of EBRI (the European Bioenergy Research Institute) and AIPT (Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies). SARI (the Systems Analytics Research Institute - incorporating the Non-linearity and Complexity Group) was formally launched at the start of 2015, while two further Institutes, the Aston Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) and the Aston Logistics and Systems Institute (ALSI) were founded in 2016, complemented by the Aston STEM Education Centre (ASEC). These Institutes embody our research priority areas where DTP-funded studentships will be made available, alongside Servitisation Research in the Aston Business School (ABS) and the Physical Science/Life Science nexus in The School of Life and Health Sciences (LHS).Every student will be a member of a Research Institute to support both their generic and technical training needs and to allow the students to function effectively as a cohort. The Institutes ensure there are critical masses of researchers leading to a vibrant research culture. Students will be encouraged to join the Institute that is the most appropriate for them. Those students who are on projects allocated to ABS and LHS will be expected to make use of the equivalent provision within those Schools and to join the most appropriate Institute within the School of Engineering and Applied Science.Over the first year of their studies, the entire cohort of PGR students will study in an Integrated Graduate Research Environment. Training needs analysis will be carried out by supervisors. Compulsory modules will include generic research skills and time management, collaborative research, academic writing/presentation skills, entrepreneurship, and outreach. Optional modules will develop the students' technical skills relevant to their research project.We normally expect PhD students to have weekly meetings with their supervisors and monitor progress through the documentation of these meetings. Three times per year there are formal progress review meetings that must be documented.At the end of their first year, students prepare a qualifying report on their research and their research plan, and are examined in a formal viva. At the end of the second year, students should either prepare a progress report or give a presentation: in addition, there is an expectation that students will have at least one publication submitted to a peer-reviewed conference or journal. At the start of their third year of study, students are expected to provide a thesis outline and write-up plan.For the coming DTP period our strategy is to strengthen the research student community through investment in around 14 studentships per year on top of those provided by the DTP. The focus will be on using the majority of the studentships to help develop the careers of a cohort of new academics who have recently joined Aston.

阿斯顿在EPS学科领域的大部分研究都在工程和应用科学学院（EA）进行，在其他学校（尤其是阿斯顿商学院和生活与健康科学学院）的卓越领域。EAS最近将其研究转移到了研究所的结构上，建立了EBRI（欧洲生物学研究所）和ASTONTUTE的EBRI（欧洲生物学研究所）和ASTON Institute（Asston Instition）的领先地位。 SARI（系统分析研究所 - 合并非线性和复杂性小组）在2015年初正式启动，而另外两个研究所，阿斯顿材料研究所（AIMR）和阿斯顿物流学院（AIMR）和阿斯顿物流学院（ALSI）于2016年建立了Aston STEM教育中心（ASEC）。这些机构体现了我们的研究优先领域，在该领域将提供DTP资助的学生身份，以及在阿斯顿商学院（ABS）（ABS）的服务性研究以及生命与健康科学学院的物理科学/生命科学（LHS）（LHS）的身体/生命科学Nexus。每个学生都将是一名研究所的成员，以支持他们的一般培训需求和技术培训的需求和技术培训，以允许学生有效地提供合理的功能。这些研究所确保有批判性的研究人员导致了充满活力的研究文化。将鼓励学生加入最适合他们的研究所。那些正在分配给ABS和LHS的项目的学生将有望利用这些学校内的同等规定，并加入工程学和应用科学学院内最合适的研究所。在他们的研究的第一年中，整个PGR学生将在综合研究生研究环境中学习。培训需求分析将由主管进行。强制模块将包括通用研究技能和时间管理，协作研究，学术写作/演示技巧，企业家精神和外展。可选的模块将发展与研究项目相关的学生的技术技能。我们通常希望博士生每周与主管进行会议，并通过这些会议的文档来监控进度。每年三次必须记录正式的进度审查会议。在第一年结束时，学生准备了有关其研究和研究计划的合格报告，并在正式的Viva中进行了检查。在第二年结束时，学生应准备一份进度报告或提供演讲：此外，期望学生至少有一份出版物提交给同行评审的会议或期刊。在学习的第三年开始时，预计学生将提供论文的大纲和写作计划。对于即将到来的DTP时期，我们的策略是通过每年对DTP提供的每年约14名学生的投资来加强研究生社区。重点将是利用大多数学生资格来帮助发展最近加入阿斯顿的新学者的职业。 More information on the postgraduate experience at Aston can be found on our Graduate School's web page: http://www.aston.ac.uk/current-students/graduateschool/Specific opportunities for PhD research can be found on the relevant School research web pages:http://www.aston.ac.uk/eas/research/prospective-research-students/ http://www.aston.ac.uk/aston-business-school/programmes/research/http://www.aston.ac.ac.uk/lhs/research/postgraduate-research/
