The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey or PTES is a national survey of postgraduate taught students. The survey is run by AdvanceHE on behalf of many UK universities.
By taking part in the survey, your feedback can lead to enhancements in your learning and teaching experience.
The survey launches on 4 March 2024 and will be open until 30 April 2024.
Eligible students will receive automated personalised notifications to fill-in the survey on the day that it launches and on key points during the period that the survey is open. Reminders via email and social media will be circulated regularly to maximise outreach.
If you have any questions or wish to opt out, please contact surveys@mdx.ac.uk
Students must be studying a course of at least 60 credits at postgraduate level that is mainly taught; we expect these to be Masters, PGCE, PGDip and PGCert courses.
Postgraduate taught students who have started their studies in September/October 2023 will be eligible for PTES 2024. Students who started in January 2024 will be eligible to participate in PTES 2025.
Your survey response is confidential to the team processing the results and no reporting outside of this team will identify any individual. Any results communicated to teaching staff will be anonymised.
