Student survey aims to map out education future
Today’s final year students are being offered the chance to shape the future of Higher Education across the UK, through a recently launched survey aimed at gauging their experiences at university.
The National Student Survey (NSS) is asking all 285,000 final year students for their views on the quality of the courses they have studied in universities and higher education colleges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It is hoped that the survey will provide an opportunity for today’s students not only to shape institutions and higher education in the future, but also to help inform prospective students on their choice of university.
Since 18 January, students have been e-mailed the survey questionnaire which relates to the quality of teaching on the courses they followed; assessment and feedback; academic support; organisation and management; learning resources and personal development.
Students can answer the NSS questionnaire online and their responses will form part of the information available on a new website www.thestudentsurvey.com for future students to help them choose what and where they would like to study.
The survey is being run by the independent research company Ipsos UK and summary feedback will be provided to individual institutions and student unions.
