Undergraduate Survey Month (UGS)

The Undergraduate Survey 2020 is now closed. 

At Kent, we run the National Student Survey (NSS) for mainly final years and the Undergraduate Survey (UGS) for all other undergraduate students at the same time.

This is to help raise awareness of both the surveys without bombarding non-eligible students with NSS communications. 

By encouraging more students not in their final year to complete the UGS, we receive representative feedback to help us make changes that can directly affect first and second year students’ experience. The earlier we get this feedback, the earlier we can make changes to improve their experience while they are still at Kent!  

Although both surveys are promoted under Undergraduate Survey Month, specific NSS communications and events must use the standard Ipsos MORI NSS artwork.

Please help promote Undergraduate Survey Month to your undergraduate students this February by:

• For specific UGS link- Undergraduate Survey 2020 now closed. 

• Using the artwork. The artwork will be delivered to your SAM by Friday 24 January 2020. You can also download the digital artwork from SharePoint. 

• Highlighting the importance of the UGS as well as the NSS. Students will see UGS feedback implemented before they graduate from Kent. 

The best practice for promoting the NSS is also relevant for promoting the UGS.

You can find out more about the NSS and download resources and guidance for both campaigns via SharePoint . 

The University (Planning and Business Information Office) will send out email communications to students eligible for the Undergraduate Survey on the same days as Ipsos MORI sends email communications to students eligible for the NSS.
