I believe it's important to highlight both the strengths and areas for improvement in the academic and student experience. The survey is a valuable opportunity to highlight what is working well and suggest areas for improvement. I wanted to contribute to positive changes that enhance the postgraduate experience not only for myself but for future students. My hope is that this feedback helps the university continue to deliver a high-quality and inclusive learning environment.
PRES
Emma Harrison (Psychology) - 1 x £250 cash
I chose to complete the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) because I believe feedback is essential in shaping the postgraduate journey. Sharing my experiences allows the university to understand what works well and what could be improved, ensuring future researchers benefit from an enhanced academic environment.
Education Student - 1 x £70 cash
As a final year doctoral (Ed. D) student within the Department of Education at Bath, the irony of completing a survey was not lost on me. As researchers, we often struggle to recruit participants to support us with our work. The overall quality of research is determined by the quality and quantity of data received. For the duration of my doctoral studies, I have been in receipt of high quality teaching, learning and support. This has come through the Education Department summer schools, but also through careful and expert supervision of my final thesis. The educational resources in the Education library are also second to none. I feel that levels of satisfaction in these areas are all high within the Doctoral College at Bath. It is important to feed this back. Completing the survey is a small way of giving back to the doctoral community both in the present and to enhance the experience for researchers in years to come.

Unit Evaluations
Junzi Li (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) - 1 x £100 cash
There is no doubt everyone has the willingness to express oneself. It is more important to express the inner self and remain the willingness for democratically participating public enhancement.
James Bailey (Economics) - 1 x £100 cash
The opportunity to share my opinions about all the modules I take not only makes me feel part of the university community, but also allows me to give back to the course that has given me so much! It is comforting to know that the unit conveners do read - and act upon - the feedback we provide, and I appreciate knowing that I am making each module better for future students. It is also important to share what works well on the course, so that these practices are continued by other lecturers throughout my studies.
