The National Student Survey will open later in the academic year. Check back here later to find out how to take part.
About the NSS
The NSS is an external, UK-wide survey of all final-year undergraduate students, which takes place every year. As you near the end of your degree, it’s an opportunity to tell the world about your time at Sussex.
You can read more about the NSS on the National Student Survey website, including some frequently asked questions.
Reasons to take part in the NSS
There are plenty of reasons to take the National Student Survey.
Your voice matters
By taking the survey, you’ll help future students make decisions about which universities to apply to, just like you did.
Play your part and help to shape the future for other students.
You could win a graduation package worth £150!
We are run a prize draw where participants could win one of 10 graduation packages worth £150. Each £150 prize will cover the cost of gown hire, two guest tickets and a basic photography package.
Charity donation
The University will donate £1 to one of our charity’s for every Sussex student that participates in the NSS.
Free t-shirt
As a thank you for taking part in the NSS, students who show proof of completion (email confirmation) can collect a free t-shirt on campus.
The organic cotton t-shirts are produced by Rapanui, a UK-based print-on-demand supplier, in factories powered by renewable energy. Rapanui uses a circular model, creating products that are designed to be sent back and remade into new ones once they are worn out, keeping materials out of landfill. Check the QR code on the label inside your t-shirt to find out more.
Spirit of Sussex Award
The NSS can be logged for five points in the Co-Creation and Evaluation category for the Spirit of Sussex Award.
Who can take part
You are eligible to take the survey if you are:
- in your final year of study on a course leading to undergraduate credits or qualifications (this includes students on an undergraduate degree or those in the final year of an integrated Masters course)
- on a flexible part-time programme (complete the survey in your fourth year of study)
- repeating your penultimate year (you complete the survey now, not when you progress to your final year)
- any undergraduate student who withdrew in their final year of study.
The National Student Survey will open later in the academic year. Check back here later to find out how to take part.
