Abstract: Hybrid flexible (HyFlex) learning, which integrates in-person and online formats, offers flexibility and adaptability to diverse learning styles, positively influencing academic performance, student retention, and attitudes toward teaching. Despite its benefits, limited research exists on students' experiences within this framework. This study investigated postgraduate students' learning experiences in HyFlex environments, focusing on course content, technology effectiveness, learning modes, and instructor roles. It aimed to identify effective teaching practices and gather student suggestions for improving interaction and collaboration. Using a survey-based quantitative approach, data from 76 postgraduate students were analysed through descriptive and thematic methods. Findings revealed positive learning experiences, with effective teaching practices including clear communication, interactive engagement, knowledgeable instructors, flexible learning modes, and varied methods. Suggestions for improvement emphasized enhancing both technical and pedagogical aspects. This study underscores HyFlex's potential to deliver engaging educational experiences and provides actionable insights for optimizing its implementation, contributing to the expanding field of HyFlex education research.
