Calling all FINAL YEAR Undergrad Students!

The NSS runs from 13 January to 30 April 2025, gathering feedback from you about your experience with King’s and KCLSU. Your responses are so important as they’ll help us, and the university understand what we are doing well and where we need to improve in the coming year.

Why is my feedback important?

In the past, your feedback has enabled us to represent your academic interests to the university and continue funding the activities and campaigns you love the most.

What has KCLSU done for my academic interests?

In the current academic year:

• The KCLSU Advice Team supported hundreds of students in Term 1 with issues affecting studies;
• Your VP Welfare & Community has listened to you and worked hard to introduce a new drink to the Shack to support her aims of improving ethical engagement and social impact at King’s;
• We worked with King’s to develop new policies including those around Mitigating Circumstances and Freedom of Expression;
• Your Officer Team heard from your course reps and campaigners and listened to your feedback to create the Union Agenda, an evidence-based declaration of what we stand for at King’s which sets out 6 key focus areas to advance education and help students thrive at King’s. You can read more about the Union Agenda here.

What’s in it for me?

This year, the NSS is entering all students who complete the survey before 11.59pm on 30 March into a prize draw to win a Graduation Package! The package includes tickets, gown hire and professional photography – a fantastic bonus to making your voice heard!

We want to keep supporting King’s students and providing a fulfilling university experience, so please do give us your feedback when the NSS goes live! To find out more about the NSS, check out the Guide for Students.

You’ll receive an email from Ipsos Mori with a link to the NSS when it opens on 13 January – alternatively, you’ll be able to take the survey from 11am to 2pm and grab free merchandise, café vouchers, and sweet treats at the completion hubs across King’s campuses:

UPDATE: The Sexual Misconduct Survey

Please note that following completion of the NSS, you will be given an opportunity to also complete the Sexual Misconduct Survey – this will ask all final year students across England about their experiences of sexual misconduct. The data is being gathered to gain insight into the number of students who have experienced sexual misconduct.

Every voice and opinion is important for understanding and tackling sexual misconduct, and whilst optional, the more students who take part in the survey, the better our understanding will be of this issue, its prevalence across Higher Education in England, and the ability of universities and colleges to address it effectively.

The survey is a completely confidential opportunity for all to contribute their experiences. Your wellbeing is our priority, so you’ll be able to skip sensitive questions if you wish. Support services are available should you be impacted by any of the issues raised in this survey.

Whether or not you have experienced misconduct, your voice is extremely important to us and your answers will help the Office for Students to understand the incidence of sexual misconduct in Higher Education and help universities develop tools to tackle this serious issue. We recognise that sexual misconduct is a sensitive subject and really appreciate your input. 

If you have any questions, please let us know or alternatively email [email protected].
