How to speak up!
The NSS opens on Monday, 4 February 2013.
Ipsos MORI will send you an email inviting you to take part in the survey.
You can always enter directly by going to www.thestudentsurvey.com
You can enter using a smartphone by scanning the NSS Quick Response code on NSS posters (you may need to download a free QR reader app).
The survey will remain open until 30 April 2013.
Will your responses remain private?
The NSS respects student privacy.
The survey is undertaken independently by Ipsos MORI.
Contact details are used only for the NSS and are confidential.
Your responses are anonymised so students cannot be identified by their institution.
How are the results used nationally?
NSS results are made publicly available to help prospective students make informed decisions of where and what to study.
They are used by national newspapers to compile league tables of universities.
They are part of Key Information Sets now required to be published for all university courses.
They are available on the Unistats website at http://unistats.direct.gov.uk/
How are the results used in ALSS?
Our faculty uses the NSS results to help identify areas where we are doing well, and where we can improve.
For examples of enhancement, see our You Said, We Did webpage at http://web.anglia.ac.uk/anet/faculties/alss/you_said_we_did.phtml
Over the past three years, ALSS has enjoyed a steady rise in NSS scores across all areas:

There will be a prize draw for Anglia Ruskin students who complete the NSS for a chance to win one of ten iPad Minis 32GB with WiFi.
As participation in the NSS is confidential, the prize draw is carried out by Ipsos MORI after 30 April from those students indicating they wish to be entered.
