National Student Survey 2018 – Final Week

We launched the NSS to our final year undergraduate students on Monday 5 February 2018; and the time has come to confirm that we are now in the final 7 days for students to provide feedback as the NSS will close on Monday 30 April 2018.

Our UK-based students were alerted to the NSS by an email from Ipsos-MORI and have been able to either follow the individual link in that email, or use their student details to log in to the survey at www.thestudentsurvey.com.

As the NSS is only applicable to UK-based students, our Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia and Newcastle University International Singapore students received an EvaSys generated email to complete the Newcastle Student Survey, which is an NSS-equivalent survey. We have also been running an internal NSS-equivalent survey for the School of Pharmacy students at the University. Please note that these will also close on Monday 30 April 2018.

Thanks to the promotional efforts across the University, we achieved a response rate of 69% in 2017, and we would like to exceed that this year. As such, may we please ask all colleagues to continue to promote the NSS within their school and programme areas, as they see fit, to ensure we continue to improve response rates as we enter the final week.

Similar to last year, as an incentive to encourage participation, subject areas/Schools with the highest response rates at the end of the survey will win a cash prize for their students to choose how to spend. Weekly response rate updates have been circulated to NSS Champions, who will have cascaded these to interested parties.
