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.
Thank You!
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.
Earlier this year, Whatuni visited our Belfast campus to collect student reviews and as a result, Ulster has been nominated for a Whatuni award in the category of Career Prospects.
Thank you to each student who took the time to complete the survey and provide feedback. The winner will be announced in June.
Student Completing a Survey

National Student Survey (NSS)
The National Student Survey (NSS) is conducted annually across all publicly funded higher education institutions in the UK, aimed at final year students.
Responses to the survey remain anonymous and the results are summarised and published to help prospective students make informed choices about higher education courses which will best suit their interests and future ambitions.
This is your opportunity to:
- Speak about your experiences
- Contribute to continuous improvement
- Help prospective students make informed choices
- Have your say!
Final year students can complete the National Student Survey until 30th April 2025.
