The National Student Survey (NSS), the 3rd largest survey in the UK, is a chance for final year students to tell the University what you thought of your time here; with questions on everything from teaching and academic support to library resources and course organisation.
You’ve probably filled in oodles of surveys during your time at University, but I can guarantee you that this is the most important one, and here’s why. The University has a special committee just for responding to the survey. As a result of last year’s scores the University has:
- accelerated plans to extend wireless networking to areas of campus not covered, and provide wireless in all Halls
- committed resources to the redevelopment of George Green Library
- overhauled the Personal Tutor system ensuring better support for you
... and numerous little changes that make a big difference to your time at Nottingham.
In this year’s Survey there is also a new question where you’ll have the opportunity to comment on the experience provided by us, your Students’ Union.
So, final year students, now the survey is live, please do fill it in, it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes or so. Think back over your time here, and let the University know what was good, what was bad, and what needs to be improved. They do listen, and you really can shape the University of Nottingham experience for future students!
