Eight out of ten postgraduate researchers express overall satisfaction with their experience at their institution, says a report out today from Advance HE.
The Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) 2023 highlights a range of improvements in satisfaction in key measures of institutions’ research culture.
However, overall satisfaction rates with the postgraduate research experience fell marginally from 80% in 2022 to 79% this year – reflecting that levels of satisfaction are trending lower from 82 per cent in 2013 to 79 per cent in 2023.
PRES is the largest annual survey of its kind in the sector and this year it drew from more than 37,000 responses from 105 institutions – including four in Australia.
