As part of its aim to continually enhance postgraduate research student experience at King’s, the Centre for Doctoral Studies participates in the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES). Sent to research students once every two years, this survey allows us to collect valuable feedback from doctoral students on their experience of life at King's.

PRES is a national online survey run every two years by the Higher Education Academy in conjunction with individual higher education institutions. The survey is designed to provide participating institutions with feedback on:

• What postgraduate research students consider the most important factors in determining their satisfaction with their educational experience
• PGR students' actual levels of satisfaction
• Benchmarking data against comparable institutions.

We ran PRES in 2023 and all current PGRs were invited to take part in this survey. 

Any suggestions to help us improve facilities or the experience for a research student are always welcome. Please contact doctoralstudies@kcl.ac.uk with your comments.
