PRES has launched - Your turn to have your say
The Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) launched last week so if you’re eligible to complete this year’s survey you should have received your email by now.
Hopefully you’ve already completed your survey and had your say, but if not don’t forget to log in via the email or my logging into My Manchester or Eprog.
The University takes part in PRES to ensure that we understand the differing experience of students as they undertake a research degree. The feedback is completely anonymous and positive or not, listened to. However, we need as many of you as possible to complete the survey to give us the clearest picture of what is working, and just as importantly what isn’t.
By understanding your experience of things like the research culture in your School, of supervision and professional development as well as whether you have access to all the resources and facilities you need, we can make sure that our resources and efforts to improve the student experience are focussed in the right way.
Your opinions really are listened to and the results are used at all levels of decision making, to spread good practice and implement real change. Examples include:
- The development and implementation of Individual Excellence Awards for PGRs;
- Development of a University- wide project to raise awareness- and uptake - of internships and placements for PGRs
- Investment in a multi-million pound project to develop a study/social facility exclusively for PGRs
Help to influence further change by having your voice heard. Remember all feedback is completely anonymous so please be honest and tell us what you think.
If you have any questions about the survey and about how we use the feedback we get to improve your student experience, you can email studentexperience@manchester.ac.uk.
