Your Feedback Matters: National Student Survey (NSS)
Published: 15 March 2026
The National Student Survey (NSS) is your chance to have your voice heard, and tell us directly about your experiences at the University. We want to hear from you as a final year student through the NSS.
National Student Survey (NSS)
The National Student Survey (NSS) 2026 is now open for all eligible final year undergraduate students to complete.
The NSS offers you the chance to give feedback on your time at UofG. It is one of the most valuable ways you can reflect on your time with us and help shape what comes next.
Your feedback really matters and survey results are shared with staff who have taught and supported you, and we value every response.
Why you should participate
Your voice is incredibly important, so we hope you take part, complete the survey, have your voice heard, and tell us directly about your experiences at the University and help to shape the UofG student experience for current and future students.
Our Student Experience Strategy
We’re proud of the student experience we offer at Glasgow but know we need to continue to develop and improve it as your needs and expectations change. The University has been working with students to implement feedback and help shape the experience of studying at Glasgow.
Our approach centres on four main themes – increasing opportunity, supporting wellbeing, improving inclusion and belonging and enhancing our digital and physical environments. We have used these themes to inform a multitude of projects which aim to make a real difference to your lives, improving the experience of studying at UofG.
Since September and in response to your feedback, we have invested in a new ResLife support model in Halls of Residence. Our reimagined teams of dedicated staff and student volunteers are hosting more activities in halls throughout the year, helping to improve connections and your sense of community. There are now more opportunities to get involved in social responsibility activities and student-led events, with local and national communities, campaigns and initiatives, as well as benefit from more professional health and welfare support at 'home'.
We have made fundamental changes to what was previously known as 'Good Cause' to improve how we receive and respond to circumstances that affect your assessments. Now known as Extenuating Circumstances, we have made the process clearer, more supportive, and easier to navigate when facing unexpected challenges. We know things don’t always go to plan as circumstances can change and impact you in varied and complex ways, so when they do, you can be assured we will consider them compassionately, fairly and consistently.
More information and FAQs online and you can also contact the Wellbeing Team direct.
Our new Support Finder is also a great new tool to help you find the right support, even if you’re not sure what you need!
"Every response provides meaningful insight into what we’re doing well and where we can grow. This feedback catalyses real change across our community, informing enhancements, innovations and improvements that ensure we continue to create an outstanding environment in which our students can thrive and succeed."
Professor Andy Schofield, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Univeristy of Glasgow
Student Space & Support improvement
We have started to make improvements to the Fraser Building on the main campus, your gateway to general and specialist support services as well as a whole range of day-to-day student life enquiries and needs. We have created a student kitchen at the heart of the study space on Level 3, completely redesigned the student enquiry and support spaces on Level 2 and have lots more things planned!
Student Engagement – Dumfries Campus
Students at Dumfries Campus are benefitting from improving community and student life opportunities via a dedicated Student Engagement Coordinator. We are enhancing how your feedback is gathered and acted upon, supporting more student-created events, and developing community partnerships that put your wellbeing at the heart of campus life.
Your voice is incredibly important, so we hope you take part, complete the NSS, have your voice heard, and tell us directly about your experiences at the University and help to shape the UofG student experience for current and future students.
NSS 2026 is commissioned by the Office for Students and conducted by Ipsos MORI, an independent research agency. It will remain open until 30 April 2026.
If you are eligible to participate in the NSS you will receive an email inviting you to complete the survey.
