Promoting the Newcastle Experience Survey

Academic staff play a vital role in promoting the Newcastle Experience Survey to studnets. School support demonstrates how student feedback matters and allows staff the opportunity to respond to student queries. All academic staff have a responsibility to make sure the Newcastle Experience Survey is available to all eligible students. Staff should explain the purpose of the survey to their students and particularly how student voice can impact student experience.

There is a Newcastle Experience Survey toolkit to help facilitate promotion in schools - the toolkit provides editable resources in many different formats - for lecture shout-outs, to posters and digital screens in your schools. Please email studentsurveys@newcastle.ac.uk with any questions, we are very happy to provide support for local survey promotion.
