What is the PTES?
The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) is organised by Advance HE and is a national survey for Master’s, PGCE, PGCert and PGDip students at University of Bolton.

Why should I take part?
Your feedback is used to enhance the Postgraduate Taught experience for future students. The results from the PTES are used both departmentally and institutionally, to identify areas for celebration and where more work needs to be done to improve the student experience. The results also help us compare how we are doing against other institutions.
As a thank you for your time, you will be entered into a prize draw to win one of four £50 Love2shop e-gift vouchers, which can be used across most major UK supermarkets. The e-gift vouchers will be awarded randomly to eligible students and will be notified by email from the Student Life team week commencing 3 July 2023.
