NATIONAL STUDENT SURVEY

National Student Survey (NSS)

The National Student Survey (NSS) is targeted mostly at final year undergraduates in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and participating Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Scotland. In addition, since 2008 mainly final year higher education students studying at Further Education Colleges (FECs) in England have been eligible to participate.

The aim of the survey is to provide data that:

  • helps prospective students make informed choices of where and what to study;

  • enables institutions to identify what areas need improvement.
