What is PRES?

The Postgraduate Research Experience Survey is a national survey of postgraduate research students conducted by institutions across the UK and globally. The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete.

The Postgraduate Research Experience Survey is your chance to tell us your thoughts about your course. The results help us compare how we are doing with other institutions, to make changes that will improve what we do in future and to keep doing the things that you value. This will help improve the experience of students like you in the future.

PRES is for any PGR student researching at the University of Warwick, including part time and distance learning students.

What happens to the results?

The results are used both departmentally and institutionally, to identify areas for celebration and where more work needs to be done to improve the student experience.

Your feedback is important. Over one hundred universities and colleges take part in the UK and globally. This means we can compare your experience against similar postgraduates at other institutions to see if we are supporting your learning as we should. We use the findings to improve our courses and the learning experience for future students.
