  3. What is the National Student Survey?

  4. What will the NSS ask me? Widely recognised as a key measure of satisfaction, the survey looks at a range of areas including: • The teaching on my course • Assessment & feedback • Academic support • Organisation & management • Learning resources • Personal development • Overall satisfaction • Students’ Union (Association or Guild)

  5. How are the results used? • The NSS results are made publicly available to help prospective students make informed decisions of where and what to study. • Institutions are provided with the anonymised data to help them identify areas where they are doing well, as well as areas for development, for the purpose of improving the student learning experience for future generations of students.

  6. Speak Up! As a result of what students have said, institutions have made changes: Examples include: • Enhanced teacher student communications, • Reviewed/developed feedback systems and methods of assessment, • Improved support measures such as personal tutorial sessions and enhanced induction programmes, • Made timetable improvements and explored course content and design, • Reviewed and improved access to IT resources, study spaces and text books /e books, • Provided additional study opportunities to develop key skills and offered enhanced careers support.
