Last chance to complete the 2006 National Student Survey
17 March 2006
The 2006 National Student Survey (NSS) is coming to an end and final-year undergraduate students must complete the survey by 23 April 2006 in order to have their say on their experience at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê.
The survey should take no more than five minutes to complete and is an opportunity to give feedback on all aspects of university life including:
- course teaching
- assessment and feedback
- academic support
- organisation and management
- learning resources
- personal development.
In 2005, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê received generally positive feedback through the NSS and was assessed by students as one of the most popular universities of the prestigious Russell Group. The NSS also saw English-based Studies at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê rated as the fourth most popular area of study in the country.
The NSS has proved useful to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê in identifying areas for improvement and in tackling these. Professor Michael Worton, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Vice-Provost (Academic & International), explained: "The area where we scored least well in the NSS was 'assessment and feedback'. This corresponds exactly to our own conclusions. In fact, as Chair of Academic Committee, I set up last session a Working Group on Assessment & Feedback, and I am delighted with the progress that they have made already."
