What is Student Experience Survey?

The Student Experience Survey (SES) is a national survey that gives eligible students the opportunity to share their experience of studying at UTS College. The SES is part of the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) survey program, commissioned by the Australian Government Department of Education and administered by the Social Research Centre.

The survey measures five key areas of the student experience:

  • Skills development
  • Peer engagement
  • Teaching quality and engagement
  • Student support and services
  • Learning resources

Your feedback helps UTS College, the higher education sector and the Australian Government better understand the student experience. The results are used to identify areas of strength and opportunities to improve students' course experiences, teaching and learning, and outcomes for current and future students.

Student Experience Survey Period

The 2026 Student Experience Survey is open from 28 July to 30 August 2026. Eligible students will receive an invitation to participate from the Social Research Centre during the survey period.
