Postgraduate Researcher Experience Survey 2023
1st March to 30th April
This survey is not about league tables. Your insights and feedback will inform meaningful improvements in researcher provision, resources, and culture across the university.
The last PRES survey held in 2021 led to various schools implementing improved student complaints processes, better computer and study space provision, PGR wellbeing days and seminars, teaching scholarships, postgraduate researcher Learning Community Forums (LCF), and many other developments.
We will be donating £1 to the Children's Brain Tumour Centre for each survey completed. There are over 3000 PGRs and UoN so that could make a big difference to the charity.
