The Student Experience Survey (SES) is a national survey of commencing and completing undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students studying at Australian campus locations. The survey provides valuable feedback on students’ experiences and helps universities, including Curtin, identify opportunities to enhance learning, teaching and support services.
The SES is commissioned by the Australian Government, with results contributing to the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) initiative.
In addition to the national SES population, Curtin also surveys:
- Australian campus undergraduate and postgraduate coursework middle-year students
- Students studying at Curtin global campuses and partner institutions
Who is eligible?
You may be eligible to participate if you are:
- An undergraduate or postgraduate coursework student studying at an Australian campus location
- A student studying at a Curtin global campus or partner institution
How do I participate?
Eligible students will receive an invitation email from the Social Research Centre (SRC), which administers the survey on behalf of the Australian Government and participating institutions.
When does the survey run?
The August 2026 collection opens on 28 July 2026 and closes on 30 August 2026.
