2. Student Experience Survey (SES) The SES is Australia’s first national survey of undergraduate experience. Students in their first and later years of their course are surveyed in the second semester and asked about their experience at their higher education institution. The following SES data are used: Quality of educational experience (item): the proportion of undergraduates who were satisfied with the quality of their overall educational experience; Teaching quality (scale): the proportion of undergraduates who were satisfied with the quality of teaching they had experienced as measured by the items in the teaching quality scale; Learner engagement (scale): the proportion of non-external undergraduates who were satisfied with their engagement with learning as measured by the items in the learner engagement scale;

3. Learning resources (scale): the proportion of undergraduates who were satisfied with the learning resources provided by their higher education institution as measured by the items in the learning resources scale; Student support (scale): the proportion of undergraduates who were satisfied with the support they received at their higher education institution as measured by the items in the student support scale; and Skills development (scale): the proportion of undergraduates who were satisfied with the skills development they experienced through their higher education studies as measured by the items in the skills development scale. Note: The QILT Website will present data from the previous two years for each focus area. This analysis is based on that data.
