The Research Student Experience: Lessons from PRES: a summary

This is an EvidenceNet summary of the 2009 report by Park C. "The Research Student Experience: Lessons from PRES".

The PRES 2007-9 findings show that research students have generally very positive views about their experiences rating them overall just as positively as undergraduates in the NSS and taught postgraduates in the PTES. The most positive areas within the overall experience are supervision skills development and thesis examination and the least positive are infrastructure intellectual climate and professional development and career.
