Could the expansion of student numbers be harming the taught postgraduate experience?
Analysis of this year’s Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES), a survey of nearly 80,000 taught postgraduates across 91 institutions, sought to explore this question.
It found many courses that were thriving, and some that were doing less well. The rapid expansion of taught postgraduate provision has impacted upon the student experience, but this impact is not simple and includes some strong success stories.
