Why is the National Student Survey important?
Help us improve the University
It’s an opportunity for you to share what it has been like to study your course and your overall experience at Royal Holloway. Your feedback will directly influence decision-making processes and strategic planning for the future. Your input guides us in allocating resources, implementing new initiatives, and making improvements that directly benefit you and future generations of students.
Every department will make an action plan to respond to the feedback from these surveys. You may have seen some examples of ‘you said, we did’ around campus recently.
Help prospective students decide where to study
The responses you give in your survey will help prospective students when deciding where to study. By completing your survey, you'll be letting them know what your overall Royal Holloway experience was like.
What is the Sexual Misconduct Survey?
This year after completing the National Student Survey you will be asked if you would like to take part in the Sexual Misconduct Survey (SMS) pilot. If you choose not to take part in the SMS your responses to the National Student Survey will still count.
If you choose to take part in the Sexual Misconduct Survey you will be asked about your experiences of sexual harassment and sexual assault or violence, your experiences of reporting these incidents, and about relationships between staff and students.
Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and some people may find it uncomfortable. But it is important that we ask questions in this way so that it is clear what is meant.
Such questions are clearly marked with content warnings throughout and can be skipped entirely if preferred.
The aim of this survey is to understand whether university students have experienced either sexual harassment and/or sexual violence since they became a student, either within or outside a university setting.
The SMS is commissioned by the Office for Students (OfS), the independent regulator of higher education in England. It is administered by Ipsos.
If you would prefer to remove any mention of the SMS from your survey, you can email thestudentsurvey@ipsos.com before starting the NSS.
