HEA Launches New Postgraduate Online Network

Writing about web page http://evidencenet.ning.com/group/pgr

The Higher Education Academy has run the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) since 2007; this year it is being replaced by the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) to allow institutions time to evaluate and act on previous PRES results. It will run again in 2011 when PTES will take an enhancement year.

In addition to these surveys, the HEA has also developed an online community for postgraduate researchers to discuss and describe their educational experience. This group is for anyone with an interest in enhancing provision for postgraduate researchers. Whilst it complements the survey, it is open to all staff and students whether or not their institution has participated in PRES, to allow as wide a group as possible to explore the evidence on the postgraduate research experience, share practice and discuss issues faced in enhancing PGR provision.

We hope that you will take the opportunity to join the network and share you ideas, concerns and experiences with the higher education community.
