Have you completed the GRES?

Our annual Graduate Researcher Experience Survey (GRES) is still open until Friday 6th December. 

We rely on the feedback from our students in the GRES to inform the development and improvement of our services, support and resources for HDR. Your opinion matters to us as it helps us to understand what we are doing well and where we can do better.

Results from previous GRES have led to improved access to training, communication practices and administration processes and increased financial support. It has also informed many of our student outreach activities and training for students, staff and supervisors.

So far, our response rate for this year’s survey is at just over 10%, which means there are many diverse voices and experiences that have not been heard.

We know it is a busy time of year but if you have yet to do so, please take a few minutes to complete the survey.

We look forward to having your voice included!
