Information on the ComparED website about student learning experiences is sourced from the Student Experience Survey (SES).
The SES is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment 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 180,000 undergraduate students and 83,000 postgraduate coursework students from Australian universities and non-university higher education institutions (NUHEIs) participated in the 2019 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.
