Students' Union Surveys

The Students' Union (SU) runs multiple surveys each year to collect and represent the student voice. These surveys include collection of feedback about the SU, emerging issues, or to gather insight from specific communities of students. In addition to surveys, the SU also runs focus groups and other student voice engagement activities to support survey data. Many of the surveys run by the SU are in response to emerging issues and therefore are ad hoc. Regular surveys include:

  • regular pulse surveys across the academic year gathering feedback on timely issues from a random sample of students
  • Students' Union survey, gathering feedback on the SU, its services and activities

You can contact the SU at speakout@bath.ac.uk for further information.

Welcome Surveys

Three surveys aimed at first-year undergraduate and postgraduate students ask about induction and sense of belonging pre-arrival, post-welcome and just before winter vacation.
