This isn’t just another survey, your feedback will help shape real improvements in research resources, support, and culture at the university.

Previous PRES surveys have led to important changes, including improved study spaces, better student complaint processes, PGR wellbeing events, new teaching scholarships, and the launch of Postgraduate Researcher Learning Community Forums. Your input helps make these developments possible.

This survey is open from Monday 24th March to Friday 16th May.
