Your feedback given through the survey is used to compile year on year comparative data and results are publicly available to prospective students, their families and advisors to help them make informed choices of where and what to study.

Complete the survey here or by visiting NeSSa the Camel as she tours around the Talbot and Lansdowne Campus.

If you’re in years 1 or 2 (level C & I) of an undergraduate BU course, then you should opt for the UK Engagement Survey.

With this survey you get to reflect on whether you’re making the most of your academic experience, while you still have the time and opportunity to explore options to see how you can engage in other ways.

Your feedback will help us to see what’s working, and what could be improved. As a thank you for completing the survey, you will be entered into a prize draw to win one of five SUBU Summer Ball tickets*.

Both surveys open on Monday 9 February and eligible students will be emailed later today – you can also find out more and access the surveys on iBU.

If you’re a postgraduate student, on a top-up course or an undergrad on placement you can still have your say by completing the Student Opinion Survey (SOS).

*Terms and conditions available upon survey completion.

Mid unit assessment

Posted on by

This week all BU students will be asked to complete a short assessment of each course unit currently being studied.

This is an opportunity to share feedback about your units of study, while you’re still studying them. There are seven core questions focusing on resources, feedback and assessment, teaching, support and advice. Depending on your unit, you may also be asked to give feedback on other areas.

You’ll be asked to rate each question on a scale of categories where you ‘definitely agree’ to ‘definitely disagree’. The two categories of ‘definitely agree’ and ‘mostly agree’ are combined and demonstrate overall agreement with the statement and that you are satisfied on that point. Answers in the other three categories demonstrate that you do not agree with the statement and are not satisfied on that point (the middle answer isn’t neutral).

The surveys will be brought to lectures for you to complete. Your lecturers will share a summary of the collective unit feedback on myBU during semester one.

Why the Student Opinion Survey matters to you

Posted on by

student_opinionsThe Student Opinion Survey (SOS) is one of the most important tools used by SUBU and the Student Reps to independently and anonymously collect and summarise feedback from students about their learning experience at BU.

Your views and suggestions are fed back to Programme Coordinators and Framework Leaders by your Reps and further influence decisions made by university management.

BU values the opinion of all students and we want as many students as possible to respond to the SOS. Your feedback is vitally important and the more students who respond, the more meaningful and credible the feedback. Your feedback has already helped instigate many changes and identify good practice to be shared, an example being the continued increase in provision of learning spaces for students across the campuses in response to student demand.

The SOS is now open, so please take a few minutes to complete it online.
