The National Student Survey (NSS) has launched at Heriot-Watt University on Monday 21 January 2013.
Final year undergraduates
The NSS is an opportunity to give your opinions on what you liked about your time at Heriot-Watt University, as well as things that you feel could be improved. The survey takes only five minutes to complete. We strongly encourage you to participate – the survey is open to final year undergraduate students and if you are eligible, you will be contacted directly by Ipsos MORI, the survey organisers.
Your opinion matters
Your opinion matters to us - sharing your views on your experience with us will help us to be responsive to the needs of future Heriot-Watt University students. Based on our previous student feedback we:
- have improved student assessment feedback
- have targeted our investments, e.g. better Library access, more study spaces and one-stop-shop student services
- have made timetable improvements and reviewed course content and design
As an incentive, students in each department which achieves a 60% response rate will receive a £10 print quota allowance – and as a bigger incentive, Heriot-Watt is offering a prize draw in each School that reaches 70% participation, with the lucky winners in each School receiving £100 graduation ball tickets (or £100 cash, whichever they would prefer).
Share your views
In 2012, 78% of our final year undergraduates responded in the NSS – one of the highest survey participation rates of any university. This year we want to do even better! Feedback from our students lets us know not only what we are doing well, but where we could improve – so share your views on your time at Heriot-Watt and help us improve the experience for future students!
