The BSS and NSS launch on the 4th Feb. It is vitally important that as a school we pull together to support these important surveys. The result of the NSS will feed into the subject level TEF.

The first three weeks of the NSS are critical as after that time Ipsos will then start to call our students and we know that frustrates them, however it is out of our control. The Student Engagement Champions have organised 3 NSS Pizza Nights to encourage students to come and complete the survey. These will be on 5th, 12th and 19th Feb from 5-7 in Mithras Canteen.

If you are teaching a level 6 module during this time please take a few minutes before you begin to acknowledge that the survey is happening (this is what our students tell us makes the difference). Use these slides as a guide NSS intro slides

If you can not open the link please me me know and I will send them by email.

More details about the BSS and NSS questions and university guidance can be found here
