The Student Experience Survey (SES) is one component of the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) suite of surveys. The SES is the largest survey of Australian higher education students, conducted for the Australian Government Department of Education by the Social Research Centre.
The research is being conducted for the Australian Government Department of Education by the Social Research Centre, under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 to conduct the QILT suite of surveys.
The aim of the SES is to give students the opportunity to talk about their experience of the institution they are enrolled in. The results of the research are used to help higher education providers and the government gain insight into students’ experiences. Furthermore, results help to monitor and improve teaching and learning in Australia.
Taking part in the SES also assists the higher education sector and will assist future students to make choices about their study options so your participation is an important part of improving the quality of tertiary education in Australia.
Students of participating Australian higher education institutions are invited to complete the SES during their first and final year of study.
The main SES data collection is conducted throughout the month of August. Another smaller collection is conducted in September.
