Your university loves to hear what you think because we believe students are at the heart of a university.

We need to hear from as many of you as possible, to make changes that will improve your University for as many students as possible.

So as a thank you for taking the time to fill out the National Student Survey online and before February 28 we'll enter you in a draw, as our Valentine – a laptop, an iPod touch or Amazon vouchers could be yours!

You can fill in the NSS survey if you are a final year* of a course leading to undergraduate qualifications or credits.

The National Student Survey is your opportunity to give your opinions on what you liked about your time at the University of Bolton as well as things you felt could have been improved.

Student opinion matters. Based on previous year's results the University of Bolton has made significant changes. You can read all about them on the University website, here|.

The University channelled available University funding to areas highlighted by students last year and we are acting on student views about the way we work with you. Please take a look at the changes we are taking on board and see if there are new ways we can improve the student experience. Of course, if you think we are getting it absolutely right we would be just as delighted to hear from you too!

NSS results are also published on Unistats.com| ^ where prospective students and their advisors can use the information to make informed choices of what and where to study.

If you are eligible for the survey, Ipsos MORI| will have contacted you by email during the week commencing 1 February 2010 to invite you to fill in the survey online. You can also go directly to www.thestudentsurvey.com| to complete the survey and to find out more. 

* Includes withdrawn students, students repeating their penultimate year and students on programmes where the length of study is unpredictable.

^ You will be asked to provide some identification details to ensure that you are eligible. Non-respondents will be contacted by post and, if we do not obtain a response, by telephone. You may also opt out of the survey at any time if you do not wish to take part.
