Introducing PTES 2014

The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) 2014, now in its sixth year, encompasses feedback from nearly two-thirds of UK taught postgraduates, with a remarkable response of 58,679 in 2013. Designed to be shorter and more standardized, the survey collects essential data on various aspects of student satisfaction, including dissertation support, skills development, and engagement. It also includes demographic insights, motivations for course selection, and institutional attitudinal questions, making PTES a vital tool for enhancing postgraduate education across 89 participating institutions.
