What is the NSS?

The NSS is a nationally recognised, independent survey which gives final year undergraduates the opportunity to have their say about their university experience and in turn, make lasting changes.

Who can complete the NSS?

It's open to final year undergraduate students only. If you are not in this group, you can still provide your valuable feedback via other methods.

Take the survey, claim a free t-shirt & hot or iced drink, and enter the prize draw
