National Student Survey (NSS)
The NSS is the largest UK-wide annual survey aimed at final-year undergraduates in the UK. The survey provides you with an opportunity to give your honest opinions on what you liked about your course at Norwich University of the Arts as well as things that you feel could have been improved.
The survey is administered by Ipsos, an independent market research agency on behalf of the OfS and the UK Higher Education funding and regulatory bodies – the Department for the Economy (Northern Ireland), the Scottish Funding Council and Medr, the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) – so your responses remain anonymous to your university or college at all times.
You will be asked questions relating to various aspects of your course such as teaching, assessment and feedback and learning resources. You will also be given the opportunity to provide comments on your overall student experience at your university. You may also be asked some additional questions specific to your course and your university.
Why should I take part?
The NSS provides you with the opportunity to provide honest feedback on your student experience;
- Your opinions will be used to improve the student experience;
- The feedback you submit is taken very seriously and informs the quality assurance system with regards to teaching quality;
- Results are published and used by prospective students, their families and advisors to make decisions on what and where to study.
More information about the NSS is available here
What happens with the results?
The NSS results are published to help prospective students, their families and advisors make informed decisions of where and what to study. This is available on Discover Uni.
