51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Final year undergraduates are asked to rate their experience at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø as this year's National Student Survey launches.

The survey, which is open until 30 April 2017, invites students to assess the College on areas such as academic support, learning resources and assessment and feedback.

Professor Simone Buitendijk, Vice-Provost (Education) said: “The NSS gives our final year students a chance to leave a lasting impact on 51³Ô¹ÏÍø long after they leave, as their views and ideas will contribute to positive change in years to come. The feedback from the NSS really matters to departments, faculties, the College and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College Union as it provides vital insights into the student experience at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø – showing us what we’re getting right and what we can improve.”

The results of the survey, which are published later in the year, help inform key education-focused developments. Each department creates an action plan aimed at enhancing areas such as teaching and student support as part of the College’s 

 also produces a formal response to the survey’s results, to help the College and Union work together on improvements.

Luke McCrone, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College Union’s Deputy President (Education), said: “The NSS is a really important way of sharing your views on your time at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. We want to see as many students as possible completing the survey and making use of the opportunity to feedback. Last year, 78% of eligible students took the survey, giving the Students’ Union a wealth of insights that has helped us chart a powerful course of action with the College as part of our NSS Response. We are hoping to increase the number of students taking part this year; the more students completing the survey the more reliable and useful it will be to the Union when we work with the College to improve the student experience.”
