• The wellbeing of postgraduate taught students: an exploratory case study (2026) · Frontiers in Education · doi

  included A key limitation to note in this study is that due to the convenience sampling method employed, and the self-selecting nature of participation, there are potential issues regarding the diversity and representativeness of the participant sample. In addition, this paper only reports on PGT students’ wellbeing during COVID-19, making it difficult to ascertain if findings are applicable to PGT student experiences before or after the pandemic. Despite this, what we have learnt from this study has important implications for current PGT education, particularly in view of the increased use of online learning since COVID-19.
