The SES is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training and has been administered by the Social Research Centre since 2015.
The SES is the only comprehensive survey of current higher education students in Australia. Around 194,000 undergraduate students and 89,000 postgraduate coursework students from Australian universities and non-university higher education institutions (NUHEIs) participated in the 2018 SES. The survey collects information that helps both higher education institutions and the government improve teaching and learning outcomes, and reports on multiple facets of the student experience.
We are incredibly proud of these results and thankful to all our brilliant and hardworking faculty that provide such a high level of tuition and support to our students.
