Urban Studies and Sport and Exercise Science students reach 100% NSS response rate

Date:

We are into the last month of the NSS and currently have an overall response rate of 72.8%, a slight improvement on the rate at this time last year (71.7%).  However, there are still 350 NSS eligible students who have not yet responded. 

 

Response Rates by Department / Discipline

There have been some significant movements since last week:

  • Urban Studies have joined Sport & Exercise Science in first place, both with 100% participation
  • Chemistry remains in third place with a response rate of 92%
  • The response rate for Physics has increased from 32% to 53%

Eight departments have already exceeded their final response rate of last year (Sport & Exercise Science, Languages, Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management & Surveying, Urban Studies, Computer Science and Actuarial Maths & Statistics),

However, there are still some departments that are lagging behind in comparison to their performance last year:

  • Physics 53% v 70% at the same time last year (and a final response rate of 74%)
  • EECE 73% v 80% last year (and 83% final)
  • Chemical Engineering 79% v 97% last year (and 97% final)
  • EPS Combined Studies 47% v 53% last year (and 67% final)
  • Accountancy & Finance 67% v 70% last year (and 75% final)
  • Textiles & Design 62% v 74% last year (and 75% final)
  • Mathematics 80% v 84% last year (and 87% final)

Incentives / Prize Draws

NSS eligible students in the following departments, all of which have a response rate of over 70%, will be entered into the prize draw for their school for £100 graduation ball tickets / cash: Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management & Surveying, Urban Studies, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, EECE, Biology, Psychology, Sport & Exercise Science, Economics, Languages, Actuarial Maths & Statistics, and Mathematics.

As it currently stands, students in the following departments will not be entered into the prize draw: Combined Studies (EPS), Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Accountancy and Finance, Management, Management at SBC, Computer Science and Textiles & Design.

In addition, NSS eligible students in any department which reaches a 60% response rate will automatically receive a £10 print quota – the only departments not to have reached this milestone yet are Combined Studies in EPS (47%), Combined Studies in SML (50%) and Physics (53%).
