The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey is run in association with AdvanceHE and the purpose of the survey is to provide institutions with useful quality enhancement information to identify, both at local and national level, areas where improvements could be made to further enhance taught postgraduate programmes.
The survey is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation and the results from the survey are not published and do not inform national league tables, although some aggregated results are compiled for benchmarking purposes. Survey results are confidential to the institution and are designed to be used as part of overall quality enhancement information. The survey is available in on-line format only and all responses are anonymous.
The survey covers all aspects of the student experience under the nine broad subject headings below:
- Quality of Teaching and Learning
- Engagement
- Assessment and Feedback
- Dissertation or Major Project
- Organisation and Management
- Resources and Services
- Skills Development
- Overall Satisfaction
- Motivations
Each section of the survey provides a number of statements to which students are invited to respond on a six point scale ranging from definitely agree to definitely disagree. A link to the questionnaire is provided below.
