National Student Survey (NSS)

The National Student Survey (NSS) informs future students about courses and universities across the UK. Undergraduates in their final year of study complete the survey.

The NSS is your chance to give anonymous feedback on your experience of UCL and your programme of study.


NSS 2025

The 2025 National Student Survey will be open between Thursday 9 January and Wednesday 30 April. 

Eligible students will be contacted by email on 9 January.

The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete and all responses are anonymous. 

Your responses and open text comments help to drive changes improvements in UCL's academic departments and support services. 

You also have the option to enter into a prize draw where 20 students will have the opportunity to win a graduation package that will support the cost of your graduation ceremony.
