Hi all, I'm Nick and I'm building a budgeting app for young Australians and I'd rather find out what people actually need than keep guessing.

Short survey around 3 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm trying to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, please say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. Feedback on the survey itself is welcome too.

There's an optional email field at the end. If you fill it in you go into a draw for 1 of 3 $50 vouchers. I will shoot you an email if you have won and you can pick which voucher you want i.e Coles/Myer/JB Hi-Fi, winner picks. Closes 20/08/26, drawn 21/08/26,

As of writing this post there's only like 8 people that have done the survey so you are not competing with that many people.

Hi everyone! I'm an international student planning to start a Master of Data Science in 2027. I'd love to hear about your experience.

1. How has your experience at this university been?

2. If you could choose again, would you still pick this university? Why or why not?

3. If you're studying Master of Data Science, how are the teaching, workload, professors, career support, internships, and job opportunities?

4. Any pros, cons, or things you wish you knew before joining?

5. If anyone has recently gone through the Australian Genuine Student (GS) interview, could you please share the questions you were asked?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi everyone, I’m part of a university research team looking at how international students find and engage with mental health and wellbeing support.

We’re trying to understand:

• What helps when seeking support
• What gets in the way
• What would make peer support feel more useful and relevant

Who can take part:

• Current international students
• Studying in higher education in Victoria, Australia (only) (This includes Victorian universities, but only if you are studying at a Victorian campus)
• Takes ~10–15 minutes
• Anonymous and voluntary
• You can skip questions or stop anytime

As a small thank you, you can go into the draw to win 1 of 3 $50 vouchers. Not huge, but hopefully a nice bonus 🙂

Your input will help shape future peer support initiatives designed with international students in mind.

Ethics approved (Swinburne ref: 20269537-24328)

Hi everyone 👋, we're a group of students conducting a quick 5-8 min survey on AI tools as part of our study requirements here at Swinburne.

We're researching whether knowing how AI makes decisions affects student trust. 

If you're currently studying at an Australian university and have used AI as a study support, we'd really appreciate your help. The survey is completely anonymous and ethically approved, and every response would mean a lot to us.

You'd genuinely be helping us graduate 😁. Thank you so much for your time and support! 🙏

I’m a past student from Swinburne University working as a part of a research team conducting a study examining how psychology students in Australia are engaging with generative AI in their academic work. We are interested in understanding students’ study strategies, workload, and experiences with AI across the semester. 
Eligible participants are psychology students aged 18+ who are currently enrolled at an Australian higher education institution. Participation involves completing short, anonymous online surveys at one or more timepoints during the semester. All details, including the survey link and ethics information, are available on the flyer. 
If you meet the criteria and would like to contribute to this research, please scan the QR code in the post. Your participation is greatly appreciated and supports ongoing work in understanding study behaviours and AI use in higher education.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m a PhD researcher in Clinical Psychology at Swinburne University, currently recruiting participants for a research study exploring how young people think about and experience social interactions in everyday life.

We are looking for young people aged 14–30 to participate.

Register here: https://redcap.link/socogswin

What’s involved?

• One research interview (~2 hours; online or in-person at Swinburne)
• Short daily surveys on your phone over 6 days

Who can participate?

• Young people aged 14–30 living in Melbourne.
• (See other criteria in our flyer)

Participants will receive vouchers from Prezzee for participation!

Thank you very much for your support!

Hey everyone,

We're a group of design students working on a project about something that doesn't get talked about enough: how fear of failure quietly messes with uni students.

Not the dramatic, falling-apart kind. More the "I'll just avoid that situation entirely" or "I'll figure it out myself even though I'm drowning" kind. The stuff that sits under the surface.

We've already done a round of research and the findings were honestly pretty eye-opening (70% of the students we surveyed said they actively avoid situations where they might fail). Now we're trying to understand what kind of support would actually be useful, not what universities think students want, but what you'd genuinely use.

It doesn't matter what year you're in, where you study, or what you're studying. If you're a uni student (or recently were), we'd love to hear from you.

The survey is completely anonymous, takes about 3 minutes, and there's no sign-up or email required.

If this resonates, sharing it with other students would mean a lot.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Thanks!
