Surveys have been sent out to a random sample of 23,500 OU students, who will get the chance to have their say on your whole study journey. If you have been invited to take part, you have until midnight on Tuesday, 30 April 2024 to complete your survey.
All OU respondents will enter a prize draw to win one of 15 x £50 Amazon vouchers.
The NSS is an annual survey commissioned by the Office for Students (OfS) to invite feedback on the student experience. As a publicly funded Higher Education Institution, The Open University takes part in this survey each year.
The NSS is anonymous, so students can be as frank in their feedback as they like. The Open University will use this feedback to make continuous improvements to teaching, assessment and the whole student experience.
Feedback from previous years has been used to make changes to teaching and assessment, and to improve the experience of Open University students. You can have a look at the changes that The Open University have already put in place, based on these responses.
Following responses to the NSS in the past, the Students Association have:
- Made our website and reports fresher and more colourful.
- Furthered our commitment to Student Voice.
- Increased our work on the Annual Membership Survey (and focus groups etc) to allow us to better represent students’ needs.
The NSS only takes a few minutes to complete. You can take the survey (if eligible) and find out more information at www.thestudentsurvey.com.
