About the National Student Survey

The NSS was open to all eligible final year students from the end of January to the end of April 2025. 

The survey was conducted independently by Ipsos Mori and asked a series of questions about your student experience.  

We value honest feedback on your experiences and use the anonymised results to look at areas where we can make improvements to the experience for all students. 

Results are made available on the Discover Uni website where prospective students can compare different institutions and use the information to make an informed decision about where to apply.
