When

The NSS is open from 31st January to the 30th April 2022.

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 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 27 single choice 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 at your university/college. You may also be asked some additional optional questions specific to your course and your university/college.

In addition, the OfS and the UK funding and regulatory bodies will be testing some alternative questions and response options. Once you have completed the main survey, you may be asked if you’d like to take part in a pilot study and to let us know what you think about these questions. Taking part in the NSS and this pilot study is voluntary.

Nearly half a million students across the UK are invited to take part in the National Student Survey (NSS) every year.

The NSS is your opportunity to give your honest feedback about what it has been like to study on your course at your university or college. It is published every year and is a rich and influential source of information about higher education. The survey is a key component of the quality assurance and wider regulatory landscape in UK higher education.

As a student, you have a powerful collective voice that will help shape the future of your course and your university/college for current and prospective students.

The survey is completed by final-year students at:

All publicly funded Higher Education universities and colleges in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland
Further education colleges in England and Northern Ireland
Further education institutions (FEIs) in Wales (with directly funded higher education students)
