The SES is not a survey developed or conducted by Flinders. It is a national survey conducted by the Social Research Centre on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Education. Flinders participates alongside other Australian higher education institutions.<\/p>\n
Why does it matter?<\/em><\/p>\n The information collected through the SES is genuinely useful to universities. It helps us understand what students think about:<\/p>\n Institutions use the results to compare their performance, identify aspects of the student experience that may need attention, and guide improvements to teaching, learning, resources and student support. The findings also contribute to the Australian Government\u2019s ComparED<\/a> website, which helps prospective students make informed study choices.<\/p>\n The survey is confidential and participation is voluntary. Your contact details are used to administer the survey, while publicly available findings are reported as aggregated, non-identifiable data. You can read the full SES privacy notice<\/a> if you would like more detail about how your information is handled.<\/p>\n Not every student will receive an invitation. The survey includes a selection of commencing and later-year undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students, including domestic and onshore international students.<\/p>\n If you are invited, you will receive an email containing your survey link. Keep an eye on your Flinders inbox during August and September.<\/p>\n And if you do participate, share your experience honestly. Positive feedback helps identify what is working well, while constructive criticism helps universities see where improvements are needed. The more eligible students who respond, the clearer and more useful the picture becomes.<\/p>\n\n
