Deadline approaching to have your say
We have launched the Bournemouth University Postgraduate Research Experience Survey for Supervisors.
The Advance HE Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) has just closed and 40% of our PGRs provided feedback on their experiences at Bournemouth University.
This year, we are running a parallel survey for supervisors which asks a similar range of questions to PRES to also give supervisors a voice, and to provide balance and/or support to the issues raised by the PGRs.
The survey covers topics including PGR supervision; resources/research culture; progress/assessment; responsibilities; support for PGRs; research skills/personal development; and opportunities/overall experience.
Your experiences will be combined with those of other PGR supervisors to help us to understand the overall picture more clearly from the supervisors’ perspective, and the combined views of PGR supervisors will be considered alongside the views of the PGRs being reported in the PRES. The responses will be analysed and reported as appropriate.
Participation is optional but we would very much appreciate your feedback to help us further review and improve the support available for our PGRs.
To complete the survey, which closes at 5pm on Wednesday 31 May 2023, please click on the following link: https://bournemouth.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/pres-sup-2023.
Your involvement will be to complete this short anonymous online. The online survey will take approximately 6 minutes to complete.
If you have any questions, please contact Doctoral College.
With kind regards,
The Doctoral College
