That's Me! PGR Supervisor Survey

Birmingham City University is proud to partner with the University of Wolverhampton to deliver "That’s Me! Eliminating barriers to postgraduate research study in the West Midlands",  a project funded by the UKRI and Office of Students as part of a nationwide programme to Widen participation in postgraduate research – UKRI.  

Our project aims to explore the Postgraduate Researcher (PGR) experience, from recruitment to award, with a specific focus on the experiences of members of our community who identify as Global Majority. Global Majority refers to "people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities'". 

Exploring the experience of PGR supervisors at BCU

This survey focuses on the experiences of current PGR Supervisors at BCU. It is open to any member of BCU staff who is currently on a PGR supervision team (as Director of Studies, Supervisor, Advisor, Mentor) or has been a member of a PGR supervision team in the past. You will be asked questions about your background, Global Majority status, current supervision workload and experience, as well as your thoughts and experiences about BCU processes relating to postgraduate research, including applications. The aim of our evaluation is to gain a better understanding of our current Global Majority PGR supervision experiences and application processes from the perspective of staff.

The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Please follow this link if you are interested in taking part.
