It's survey time again! - The Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) 2009

The Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) 2009 has been launched today, and I would like to encourage (beg, even!) you to complete it. As a postgraduate researcher at Queen Mary, your opinion of your experience here is very important, and any information you provide will help us to improve things for you during the rest of your time here, and for future students.

PRES is an online questionnaire and it should not take longer than 20 minutes for you to complete it. All data collected will be held anonymously and securely. Your results cannot be traced back to you in any way.

A high response rate is necessary to obtain robust results, so your participation is very important and your time is greatly appreciated. You may have completed this survey last year, but please take the time to fill it in again, so we can see what improvements have been made since then, and what areas still need work. After this year, PRES will not run again until 2011, so it is a good opportunity for you make your views known now!

The survey is available here until 30/04/09.

The survey consists of 5 pages and once you click ‘Continue’ you will not be able to come back to the previous page.

The higher response rate we get to this survey, the more accurate picture we can obtain of what things Queen Mary does well, and what needs improving, and that will lead to a better experience for all research students. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you!
