National Student Survey - The University of Nottingham

Make your mark

As a final year undergraduate the National Student Survey (NSS) is your chance to make your mark on your University.

Give your opinions on what you loved about your time here, as well as how you feel we could improve the student experience.

Here you can find out where to fill in the survey, what you will be asked and how your answers will be used to benefit you, your University and future students.

A record 68% of eligible students filled in the 2013 survey. Thank you to everybody who took part.

a restructured system of pastoral support in University and off-campus halls
further development of the Healthy U initiative, with increased capacity of the counselling service and improved access to specialist health services
