National Student Survey review – workshops

Six workshops to enable stakeholders to contribute to the NSS review.

The National Student Survey (NSS) is the largest student feedback survey in the UK. Every full-time undergraduate student is invited to complete the NSS at the end of their course. The UK higher education funders and regulators are currently reviewing the NSS. These workshops will focus on exploring future potential question themes for consideration within the review. Find more about the NSS review.

The NSS is currently used:

  • to inform applicants about the student experience in higher education
  • to improve the student academic experience at universities and colleges
  • for public accountability.

Your views will inform the development of future question themes, which will support students to make better informed decisions and have their voices heard.

Participating in one of these workshops will give you the opportunity to inform important areas of national higher education policy and improve the experience of students. These workshops form a part of the consultation process on changes to the NSS. There will also be further opportunities to engage.
