From Monday 24 March, postgraduate taught students on a Masters level programmes will be invited to take part in the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES), which will run until Friday 13 June 2025.  

On the same day, postgraduate researchers (PGRs) will be invited to complete the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES). PRES will run until Sunday 2 May 2025. 

The survey you are asked to fill in is your chance to tell us about your postgraduate experience at Sussex so far. We are always looking to make postgraduates’ time at Sussex the best it can be, and your responses can help us to do that. We need as many of you as possible to complete the surveys to ensure we have reliable information.  

PTES and PRES are also the only national surveys of postgraduates, so they help to build an understanding of experiences across the country too.  

Please take the time to share your views and help future postgraduates – it should only take around 15 minutes. 

Look out for an email invitation from Jisc Online Surveys with your link to complete the relevant survey, as well as reminders from the University. 

All eligible postgraduate taught students who complete the PTES by Friday 13 June will be able to opt in to a prize draw to win one of five graduation packages worth £150 —covering gown hire, two guest tickets, and a basic photography package. 

PGRs who take part in PRES by 02 May will be able to opt into a prize draw to win one of five cash prizes worth £150. 

You can find more information about PTES on the Student Hub and information about PRES on the Sussex Research School pages. 

Thank you for getting involved and helping to shape the future for our postgraduate community.
