Postgraduate Research Experience Survey 2009

This document outlines the results of the 2009 Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) where 18 644 replies were received from 82 participating institutions.

Launched in 2007 our biennial survey is the only national survey to gather insight from postgraduate research students about their learning and supervision experience.

Data from PRES can be used to benchmark your institution’s postgraduate provision against others in your sector at both a department and institution level. Nationally the results are also used to inform sector bodies and policy makers about the broad experience students can expect across the UK.
