The NSS is an annual survey for final year students. Earlier in the year we shared how to answer the NSS and tell us about your university experience. The survey consists of 27 questions covering teaching, learning, assessment and feedback, academic support, organisation and management, resources, community, student voice and Students’ Union. At the end of the survey students are asked to give their university an overall satisfaction score.

The University thanks every student who took the time to complete the NSS and tell us about their experience at Nottingham.
