Hello Everyone, I am back working after a hectic week of campaigning, bugging you all on campus to vote and catching up on a long list of emails. But that's ended and I have a quick but important message for you: Your voice matters! 

You’ve probably seen the PRES (Postgraduate Research Experience Survey) and PTES (Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey) floating around in your inbox—but before you scroll past, hear me out!

Here’s your chance to win £250 and £70 cash prize.

One of our TOP 10 priorities this year is to develop clear evaluation criteria to measure and improve student satisfaction. The PTES & PRES and other in-year data-gathering mechanisms are key to this. Your feedback in these surveys will directly influence how we track progress and ensure meaningful changes happen based on what matters most to you. Whether it’s supervision, resources, teaching, more events/opportunities to get involved or overall support, your feedback helps create a clearer picture of postgraduate life at Bath.

Why should you take part?

You might wonder—do these surveys actually make a difference? The answer is yes! Your responses provide valuable insights that both The SU and the University use to:

• Celebrate what’s working well in postgraduate education. 

• Identify areas where change is needed.

• Advocate for improvements that enhance the experience for both current and future students.

Previous survey responses have led to real improvements in areas such as study spaces, funding support, academic resources, and more fun and inclusive events for all. This is your chance to contribute to those positive changes.

It only takes a few minutes to complete, but the impact lasts way longer. Just check your inbox for the survey link and have your say before the deadline!

P.S. Feeling lost or not sure about anything, My door and email box are always open, and everyone is welcome.
