In their own words: Analysing students’ comments from the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey

This report presents findings from an analysis of free text comments left by students in the PTES 2014. It is the first attempt to look closely at the feedback of PGT students at the sector level to identify the dominant themes within taught postgraduate education. The report focuses on four areas of the survey: student expectations and perceptions of quality of teaching and learning; engagement with their study; the most enjoyable element of their experience; and what needs to be improved.
