Repository of Reports from University Surveys
One of the core concerns of the University of Melbourne Surveys Reference Group is to prevent over-surveying of University stakeholders, especially students, staff and alumni. This survey repository has been created with the aim of encouraging the dissemination and utilisation of data and reports derived from survey research, thereby reducing the need for additional surveys.
If you have been involved in the administration of a survey and would like your report to be added to this repository, please contact Suzanne Daroesman or Anna To.
For all other enquiries, please contact Finance and Planning.
