2024 National Student Survey (NSS) results out now

The 2024 National Student Survey (NSS) has achieved a remarkable 72.3 percent response rate, the highest in 20 years. Almost all higher education institutions, except for a few very small ones, met the required publication threshold achieving response rates exceeding 50 percent overall and more than 10 responses.

This record participation, with almost 346,000 final year students across the UK providing feedback, highlights the importance of the NSS in shaping the higher education experience.

The NSS, one of the largest surveys of its kind globally, collects student opinions on a range of topics, including teaching quality, assessments, and mental wellbeing services. The results show positive student perceptions in areas such as teaching quality and student voice.

Sami Benyahia, Research Director at Ipsos, emphasised the significance of the consistently increasing participation rates, stating that it:

affirms the enduring value students place on their courses.

The detailed findings of the NSS 2024 are available on the Office for Students (OfS) website.
