The Graduate School would like to remind all PGRs (on behalf of SUBU) that the BU/SUBU Postgraduate Researcher Experience Survey (PRES) is now open. It is an opportunity for PGRs to tell us about their experiences as a PGR student, which will help us identify areas of good practice and areas in which we could improve. The closing date is 1 November 2016 – see link below.
PRES is an important anonymous survey which speaks out for BU PGRs only, and has been developed in consultation with BU PGR students to make it relevant to PhD, MPhil and MRes students here.
Feedback from last year’s survey helped us to, amongst other things:
- Improve the processes for administrative support
- Explore how to make the faculty research environment more stimulating
- Improve communication about how to apply for funding for specialist resources
The more responses we receive, the more we can do for PGRs. If you are a BU PGR, please help us by sparing a few moments to fill in the survey:
