Postgraduate Research Experience Survey

We want you to be motivated, challenged, inspired and successful in your research endeavours. In the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey, we want to know about your experience of completing a postgraduate research qualification at AUT University.

What does the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey do for me?

Feedback from postgraduate research students helps us to monitor and improve the experience of postgraduate research students and the research environment at AUT.

The information you provide is used to assess the quality of the research supervision, resources, support services, and facilities available to you as a student.

Surveys@AUT summarises the feedback you provide so we can report your accolades and concerns to the University Postgraduate Centre.

Key results from the 2012 Survey:

In 2012, all postgraduate students* were invited to provide feedback in the 2012 Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (except postgraduate research students who were simultaneously enrolled in a coursework paper, who were surveyed in the Annual Programme Survey).
