Annual Programme Survey (APS)

We run the Annual Programme Survey for all taught students to help us identify and act more promptly on issues affecting students.

The survey will provide departments with feedback that previously may have been captured through Student Evaluation Questionnaires, Module Evaluation Questionnaires or Continuous Module Dialogue. 

UCL students studying overseas will be able to complete the survey, but should only provide answers based on their time at UCL. 

About the Annual Programme Survey

Introduced in 2022-23 academic year, the Annual Programme Survey provides students with the opportunity to comment on their individual modules, as well as answer questions about their wider programme.

Following the surveys, we provide an analysis of the programme questions at university, faculty, department, and programme level, and we will disseminate the free text module comments directly to departments.

The APS makes up part of the data that informs Department Education Plans so that we know we are continually improving.

Annual Programme Survey 2025

Eligible students currently in the 2024-25 academic year will be invited to complete the survey via email. The survey is hosted on Qualtrics

Key APS documents for UCL staff 

There are various promotional materials available. You can download templates from this page Templates and guides  when the survey is open, including digital marketing materials such as:

• Email signatures
• Web banners
• Digital screen images.

Most importantly, you can talk to your students about the survey and why their feedback is important to you and the department, giving examples of how student feedback has changed things in the past.

Speaking to students in lectures, or setting aside a time for students to take the survey in a computer cluster has been successful for departments in past surveys.

You can also remind students that they will automatically be entered into a prize draw.
