Postgraduate Research Experience

Similar in concept to the Graduate Course Experience report, Postgraduate Research Experience investigates various key aspects of the higher education experience of PhD and research masters graduates measured by the Postgraduate Research Experience Questionnaire (PREQ). These aspects include supervision, intellectual climate, skill development, infrastructure, thesis examination, goals and expectations and overall satisfaction. This report is targeted at higher education professionals.

The Postgraduate Research Experience report is released in two sections. The first section is a summary report that examines the key outcomes for our target group of graduates. The second section contains the tables and figures from both the summary report and from the original series of reports, released up until 2009. Both are available for free download below.
