Imperial's final year undergraduates are invited to share their views, as the National Student Survey 2016 gets underway.

Final year undergraduates are asked to rate their experience at Imperial as part of the nationwide survey, giving scores on areas such as academic support, learning resources and assessment and feedback. This year’s survey is now open and closes on 30 April.

Professor Sue Gibson, the College’s Acting Vice-Provost (Education), said: “The NSS is an important opportunity for final year students to reflect on their experience during their time at Imperial and share their views and ideas in order to contribute to positive change in years to come. The feedback from the NSS really matters to departments, faculties, the College and Imperial College Union as it provides vital insights into the student experience at Imperial.”

The results of the survey, which are published later in the year, help inform key education-focused developments. Each department creates an action plan aimed at enhancing areas such as teaching and student support as part of the College’s strategic commitment to enriching the student experience.

Imperial College Union also produces a formal response to the survey’s results, to help the College and Union work together on improvements.

Chun-Yin San, Imperial College Union’s Deputy President (Education), said: “We want to see as many students as possible completing the NSS and making use of the opportunity to share their experience of life at Imperial. Last year, 77% of eligible students took the survey, giving the Students’ Union a wealth of insights that has helped us chart a powerful course of action with the College as part of our NSS Response. We are hoping to increase the number of students taking part this year; the more students completing the survey the more reliable and useful it will be to the Union and the College in improving the student experience.”
