Postgraduate Research Experience Survey

Oxford Brookes has performed well in the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES) national survey coordinated by Advance HE.

Programme Satisfaction

81% of Postgraduate students were satisfied with their experience on a research degree programme. This was higher than the sector (79% sector average) and shows an increase to the findings from the 2021 survey (77%). This result suggests that the overall experience of Research students at Brookes in the post-Covid-19 era has improved.
