When does the survey run??
The survey will run from?Thursday 4 February?to?Friday 30 April 2021.
How can I get involved??
For 2021, the OfS does not require universities to promote the NSS. However, we still need to meet threshold and are keen to avoid students being telephoned several times by Ipsos MORI. As such, UEB have agreed for limited and light touch communication to go ahead. We will continue to promote the NSS centrally through our student communications social media channels to encourage students to complete the survey.
Whilst we know that local promotion is effective in raising awareness of the NSS, please only do so if you consider this appropriate this year and have the time to do so. We are mindful that you know your students best and we understand that the current staff and student experience is far from ‘normal’! However, should you like to promote the survey, please do be sensitive to the current challenges students are facing and the Ipsos MORI communication schedule. Both the Student & Market Insight and Student Communications teams are happy to advise wherever possible.
