Don't lose your voice: give feedback and make change at UCL
15 March 2018
As a student at UCL, you have one main chance a year to give your feedback to the university at an institutional level.
This feedback is your chance to make your voice heard so don't miss the opportunity. Together, we make a better education.
Examples of how your feedback can change UCL
You can see lots of ways UCL has changed due to your feedback which includes:
- better access to mental health services
- more study spaces and access to laptops
- a new venue for summer exams
… and much more.

Your opportunities to give feedback (and maybe win some vouchers!)
- Final year undergraduates: The National Student Survey (NSS) is open until Monday 30 April. Take 5 minutes to share your views about your course.
- Penultimate year undergraduates: The Student Experience Survey is open until Sunday 8 April. Take 10 minutes to tell us about your experience and win up to £500.
- Taught postgraduate students: The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) will be open 20 April - 16 June. This includes students on Master's, Postgraduate Diplomas and Certificates, but not Master's by Research (MRes).
You can also give positive feedback by nominating UCL staff who have helped make your time at UCL brilliant - The Student Choice Awards nominations are open until 23 March.
