Experience Surveys
The University launches the Postgraduate Taught and Research Experience Surveys (PTES and

slides to help communicate with students. Students will also receive regular reminders by email and
Graduate School social media.
The closing date is Thursday 18 May for PRES and Friday 16 June for PTES. Students who complete
the survey will be entered into one of two draws to win £250. For further information please contact
