UWS Student Experience Surveys

1 March until 17 May 2021

At UWS we are here for our students and we are always keen to get feedback from you – good or bad – in order to help improve the student experience.

In 2021 we are launching three new surveys to provide the opportunity for you to have your say.

  • Undergraduate Student Experience Survey
  • Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey
  • Postgraduate Research Experience Survey

The majority of UWS students will be eligible to complete one of these surveys. Final year students, who are eligible to complete the National Student Survey this year, will be the main exception.

Are the surveys anonymous?

Yes. All participants and their answers remain completely anonymous at all times. Your contact details will only be used for the purpose of inviting you to take part in the relevant survey.

What is Involved in completing each survey?

We've tried to make completing each survey as convenient and quick as possible for you. Each survey is online and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Will my comments be useful/Used? 

Each survey gives you the opportunity to provide positive and/or negative comments on your student experience as a whole at UWS. Your comments are extremely important and are used, together with the results of the survey, to help us identify how we can make improvements.

How do I take part?

If you are eligible to take part, you will be contacted by UWS Survey Admin with all of the relevant details required to complete the survey relevant to you.
