ESRC DTP Student Survey 2025

This survey is for ESRC-funded students in Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) only. Please do not complete if you are not funded by ESRC or have not been funded through a DTP.

ESRC recognise that the student voice is an important factor in monitoring their doctoral training investments.  This survey asks about your experiences of your studentship and is organised into the following sections:

• Student details
• Supervisory arrangements
• Training and Development (for starters before October 2024)
• Development Needs Analysis (for starters from October 2024 onwards)
• Research in Practice (for starters from October 2024 onwards)
• Additional Opportunities
• DTP Support
• Collaborative / Interdisciplinary Activities
• Cohort building
• Facilities
• Health and Wellbeing
• Future Aspirations

Your responses will be combined with those of others to help inform both ESRC and your Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) / institution about the experience of postgraduate researchers, helping to improve future support.

Many thanks for your participation.
