Programme Improvement Through Alumni Research (PITAR) FAQs

01 What is the PITAR Project? 02 When and how does it take place? 03 Who will be asked to take part? 04 What is being asked? 05 Who has access to alumni contact details? 06 Are the results confidential? 07 Alumni: Why do I need a survey ID?

Survey IDs are used to enable the Surveys Team to identify who has taken part for the purpose of managing the survey and to remove the details of those who do not wish to take part. They are also used to cross-reference responses with demographic data such as: school, course, gender, country of domicile, ethnicity, age and year of study. Once this has been done and all data collected, any unique Identifiers will be removed from the data file. All data will also be subject to rounding which will further protect the anonymity of individuals.

At no point will identifying data be available to individuals outside of the Surveys Team.
