Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) 2013

This document outlines the results of the 2013 Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) where 48 401 replies were received from 122 participating institutions.

Redeveloped for 2013 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.
