Your thoughts and opinions matter. During your time at ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥, the feedback surveys that are sent to you give you the chance to amplify your voice. Each year, hundreds of thousands of students like you across the UK take part in the NSS. Conducted by Ipsos on behalf of the Office for Students (OfS), the survey asks all final year students to share their thoughts on their student experience. Following the end of the survey on 30 April, the anonymous data is then collated and sent to the university.
