Student Surveys

The University participates in a number of sector wide and internal surveys which enable the University to see what is going well and what could be improved right across the student experience; detailed information can be found by following the links below.

The NSS results data are one of the factors that are used in league tables; for more information on how these data are used and what other factors contribute to league tables see the Strategic Planning and Projects.
