As an Ulster student, you have may be asked for your opinion on your course, campus or life at uni. You may have wondered why you’re being asked these questions and what your responses are used for.

It’s really important for Ulster to get feedback directly from students as this provides us with authentic information on how you feel and what we need to do to make improvements. If there’s something you want to say about your experiences, we urge you to get involved.

Whatuni

Whatuni is the UK's largest university course comparison site, attracting over 5 million visits annually. They use data-driven insights and trusted connections to match students with the right universities.

At the heart of Whatuni are student reviews—over 180,000 live, honest opinions that help prospective students make informed choices while giving current students a voice.

The Whatuni team are visiting Belfast campus on Thursday 6 February, from 10am-3pm to ask students to complete the survey. If you are on campus, pop over to their stand in the BC foyer and grab some sweet treats and UU merch in exchange for your views.

If you can't make it to campus or you're based at Coleraine or Derry~Londonderry, you can complete the survey online.
