The National Student Survey (NSS) is a nationally recognised annual survey of mostly final-year undergraduates in the UK. The survey provides students with an opportunity to give their honest opinions on what they enjoyed about their time on their course at DMU, as well as any aspects of their experience that they feel could have been improved.
Watch our NSS explainer video to find out how the survey works and how you can take part.
The NSS is run by independent research company Ipsos MORI on behalf of the UK Higher Education Funding Bodies and Regulators, so responses always remain anonymous.
If you are eligible for the survey, Ipsos MORI will contact you soon after DMU’s survey period opens on Monday 31 January 2022 to invite you to fill in the survey online. However, you can also complete the NSS online via a PC or mobile device at any time between today and the end of April. It only takes about 10 minutes to fill it in.
Why should I take part?
• The NSS provides you with the opportunity to provide honest feedback on your student experience
• Your feedback will be used to improve the student experience at DMU
• Results are taken very seriously and inform our quality assurance system with regards to teaching
• Results are used by prospective students, their families and advisers to make decisions on what and where to study.

What happens with the results?
The NSS results are made publicly available to help prospective students, their families and advisers make informed decisions of where and what to study. Providers and supporting Students’ Unions also use the data to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses, in order to bring about change and enhancements to improve the learning experience for future generations of students.
