PGR Voice Survey 2025
The PGR Voice survey opens in May 2025 - if you’re a postgraduate researcher at ºù«Ӱҵ, we want to hear from you!
What is PGR Voice?
The PGR Voice is your opportunity to provide feedback about your experience as a postgraduate researcher at ºù«Ӱҵ.
We want to understand more about our PGR community and the things that matter to you. We’ll use your insights to make meaningful changes to PGR provision at the University, and insights captured through the survey will steer PGR development over the next 2 years. This means your voice will influence PGR leadership both at institutional level and locally in your department. You can find information on the outcomes from the 2023 Voice survey here.
Who will be invited to take part?
We want to hear from PGRs at all stages of their student journey - from new starters, through to those who are post-submission. This so we can get a full picture of PGR experience here at ºù«Ӱҵ.
What topics will be covered?
The survey will ask for your feedback on a range of areas, including:
- Overall experience
- PGR research culture and community
- Supervision
- Resources, support and environment
- Training, development and careers
- Generative AI
You will also have the opportunity to provide comments on any aspect of your time at ºù«Ӱҵ.

The survey will be run via the Qualtrics platform and you will receive a personalised link to the survey direct to your inbox.
We will be promoting the survey around campus, so look out for digital displays in the Student Union and your shared PGR spaces.

The survey will open in early May for a 4-6 week period and you’ll be sent an invitation direct to your inbox.
