What is the NSS?

Now’s the time to share your views about your university experience, with the National Student Survey. The survey provides you with an opportunity to give your honest opinions on what you liked about your course at the University of Bolton as well as things that you feel could have been improved.

The survey is administered by Ipsos MORI, an independent market research agency on behalf of the UK Higher Education funding and regulatory bodies, 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, feedback and assessment, and learning resources. You will also be given the opportunity to provide comments on your overall student experience, mental health and wellbeing support and your freedom of expression at the University of Bolton. You may also be asked some additional optional questions specific to your course and the University.
