Have your say – National Student Survey (NSS)

Your time at university matters — and the National Student Survey (NSS) is your chance to make it count. 

The NSS is open to most final-year undergraduate students and is usually open from February – April each year. The survey is run independently by Ipsos and asks about your experience of teaching, learning, assessment and support. 

We value your honest feedback, and the anonymised results help us identify what’s working well and where we can improve the experience for current and future students. 

Survey results are published on the Discover Uni website, where prospective students can compare universities and make informed decisions about where to apply. 

Universities are allowed to promote the survey and encourage participation but must not influence how students respond. You can find more information about inappropriate influence on the Office for Students (OfS) website.
