The National Student Survey (NSS) 2024 has launched and we are encouraging all eligible final year students to take part!
What is the NSS?
The NSS is an annual survey completed by nearly half a million undergraduate students at universities across the UK each year. It offers the opportunity to have your say about what you liked about your experience of studying at the University of Lincoln, as well as what you feel could have improved it.
Questions look at areas such as the teaching on your course, academic support and learning opportunities. You will also get the chance to give your thoughts on aspects such as mental health and wellbeing support.
The survey is administered by Ipsos, an independent research agency on behalf of the Office for Students (OfS) and the UK funding and regulatory bodies. Participation is voluntary and responses always remain anonymous.
The NSS, which has been conducted every year since 2005, provides higher education institutions with valuable information from students about their overall experience.
Results of the NSS are made publicly available on the Discover Uni website, which can help prospective students to decide on what they want to study and where.
Universities also use NSS data to help identify areas of weaknesses and areas of strength, which in turn, allows them to make changes to enhance the experience for future generations of students.
With the survey launching this week at Lincoln, course tutors will start talking about the NSS in sessions to encourage eligible students to take part.
So please do leave your mark and help shape the future of your university by taking part. All eligible students can complete the NSS online at www.thestudentsurvey.com, and can do so from Monday 8 January until Tuesday 30 April.
