The 2025 National Student Survey (NSS) has now closed.
The National Student Survey (NSS) is a nationally recognised annual survey of final year undergraduates in the UK.
It’s a great opportunity for you to reflect and share your honest feedback on what it has been like to study on your course as well as your overall experience at Birmingham. You'll be asked to give your opinions anonymously on what’s working well for students, and where we need to make further improvements.
We’ll use the responses to help us improve or keep doing the things that were useful to you - so what you say can make a real difference for your fellow and future students.
From past surveys, we’ve improved and invested in areas such as assessment support and academic feedback, wellbeing services and measures to support the cost of living increase. Learn more about the changes we’ve made.
How do I complete the NSS?
The 2026 National Student Survey (NSS) will open soon. To complete the survey eligible students will recieve a unique link in their emails from Ipsos inviting them to complete the survey directly, or they can head to the NSS site where they will be able to fill in the survey.
