The National Student Survey is now open

The National Student Survey for this year has been recently launched; now is the time to speak your mind about what you liked and what you didn’t like during your studies. Don’t be afraid to be honest- your feedback is helpful for prospective students as well as for the university in terms of providing an image of student satisfaction. The 2014 survey runs until 30 April, it is coordinated independently by Ipsos Mori and it is aimed mainly at final year undergraduate students. You can participate by filling in the form here; don’t miss the opportunity to have a say on the quality of your studying experience.
