What is the NSS?

The National Student Survey (NSS) is an annual survey that asks final year undergraduate students, from across the UK, about their academic experience at their institution. The survey is managed by the Office for Students and publishes the top level data publicly to help inform student choices, support universities to improve the student experience, and support public accountability.

The survey asks over 20 questions across 7 themes, including student voice, organisation and management, and quality of teaching. Each institution also has the option to ask their students additional questions.

You can find out more about the NSS through the Office for Students website.
