Student Questionnaire Surveys

Students on Square 3 Several different types of questionnaire exercise are conducted each year. One is a qualitative Undergraduate Programmes Survey (organised by the Department) in which undergraduates are asked to give written answers to a series of questions about their courses. A second is a quantitative Student Assessment of Modules and Teaching Survey [SAMT] of individual modules taught in the Department, with all modules being sampled on a 3-year cycle (so that each module is sampled once every three years). In addition, there are three quantitative surveys in which students are asked to express their degree of satisfaction with a number of aspects of teaching and learning on a 5-point scale (with 5 representing the greatest satisfaction and 1 the least): final year undergraduates are surveyed as part of the National Student Survey [NSS], other undergraduates and taught-course postgraduates via two different Student Satisfaction Surveys [SSS] run by the University, and research students as part of the University’s Postgraduate Research Experience Survey [PRES]. The most recent results (for departmental programs and modules) available for each of these surveys can be downloaded by clicking on the links below, and each set of results includes a commentary by the Head of Department.
