Survey

Your experiences, observations, and thoughts are extremely valuable to both the EPC and organisations that we work with. This is where we host our surveys.

EPC enrolment survey 2024/5

Thank you to everyone who responds to the EPC’s annual engineering enrolment survey. Last year’s results were shared on the EPC website (the slide deck is also available) and in the EPC Data explorer.

The 2024 EPC engineering enrolments survey is now open.

The results of the 2024 survey will be published via an online Webinar and in the EPC Data explorer.

The timetable for the 2024 survey is outlined below; further to your feedback, we have decoupled the survey from the EAN Access and Admissions Forum to allow you more time to complete the survey.

30th September 2024 Survey opens Details on how to complete the survey will be sent to your university’s EPC representative and enrolment survey contact. If you would like to get involved, please contact us.
4th November 2024 Main survey deadline We know that our members have different enrolment timescales and processes so there is a four-week window in which you are invited to submit your response. We do understand that enrolment numbers may not be completely stable at this stage but ask that you provide your best estimates based on your latest information.
15th November 2024

 

Survey closes to all members For the small number of you who use your central services (who are likely to be prioritising the HESA data collections for the previous cycle) to support this process, we can extend a slightly later deadline. Please let us know if this applies to you.
4th November 2024 to 22nd November 2024 EPC data checking In case there are any queries we need to raise with you, or de-duplications or data management issues at our end.
6th December 2024 Launch of results We will launch the Engineering Enrolment Survey results at an EPC Enrolments Survey webinar. More information and booking will be available nearer the time.
13th December 2024  

Results publication

 

The results will be published on the EPC website in blog format and in the Data explorer. We also hope to provide a recording of the survey results to enable as many members as possible to benefit.

 

Every year, the collective results give us all a first glance at engineering enrolments long before official data becomes available. Our members have told us that that the data is used in many ways, from enabling individual members and departments to understand their experience relative to the sector, to evidence-based decision making on new courses to offer. In the last couple of years, this insight has been more important than ever.

 

Physics teaching as a career

The EPC is working with the Institute of Physics and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers to understand the role of engineering academics in supporting physics teaching as a career.

Members of Engineering Academics Network are invited to complete a short survey (< 5 minutes) by 12th January 2024.

Everyone who completes the survey by the deadline will be entered into a prize draw and 5 winners will be selected at random to receive a £50 book voucher. Thank you for your support.
