Student surveys

The Student Experience Survey (SES) is an important tool for RMIT to understand the overall student experience. 

The SES is conducted once a year by the Social Research Centre on behalf of the Australian Government to understand student satisfaction toward their enrolled tertiary institution and their experience at university. 

The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

In the SES, students are prompted to provide feedback on their overall student experience at RMIT, including learning at a program level and the general campus experience, including services, support, amenities and more. 

The SES is open to first year and final year higher education students. When the SES is open, all eligible students will receive an email from ses@srcentre.com.au in their RMIT student inbox with a direct link to complete the survey. 

More general information can be found on the Social Research Centre website.

At the same time, all vocational education students receive a similar survey called the Learner Questionnaire (LQ), and all higher degree by research (HDR) students receive a survey called the SES HDR. Eligible students will receive an email from surveys@rmit.edu.au in their RMIT student inbox with a direct link to complete the surveys. 

Past survey results

National results are published on the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) portal.

RMIT survey results are shared with various business units within RMIT to help with improving the student experience. 

All results at program levels can be found in the SES results folder. 

See below for the RMIT summary reports for students.

The Student Outcomes Survey (SOS) collects feedback from vocational education (VE) students who have completed or left early from government funded vocational education programs. 

In the SOS, students have the opportunity to provide feedback on their training experience and share information on their graduate employment outcomes and further study pathways so that we can continue to improve the quality of vocational training. 

The survey highlights both the positive and negative outcomes from training and monitors the effectiveness of the VE system. The information collected assists in administering, planning, and evaluating the VE system.

Vocational education graduates are emailed the survey link approximately four months after completing their qualification.

Eligible students will receive the survey link via email four months after completing or leaving a vocational education qualification. 

The Social Research Centre conducts and collects the survey results which are provided to The National Centre for Vocational Education Research who report back to RMIT.

All publications are available on NCVER’s portal.

The Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) is a national survey conducted by the Australian Government to better understand how well higher education students are being prepared for post-graduation success and graduates’ overall program satisfaction.

Eligible students will receive the survey via email four months after graduation, so they can provide information on their employment outcomes, further study pathways and overall satisfaction with learning.

This information is critical for RMIT to continue improving the student learning experience, learning resources, support services and campus facilities.

The Social Research Centre conducts and collects the survey results which are provided to The National Centre for Vocational Education Research who report back to RMIT.
