Course survey

Why your feedback matters

Your course survey is your opportunity to share what’s working well and where improvements could be made. Your feedback helps shape teaching, support, and the overall student experience — not just for you, but for future students too.

Course teams review the feedback and will share how they plan to respond to student comments, so your voice really does make a difference.

What’s in it for you?

To thank you for taking part:

• 25p will be donated to Share Portsmouth, a local charity dedicated to reducing carbon, waste and raw material use through sharing, repairing and re-using helping to save the planet and save the pennies. Share Portsmouth aims to make it easier for people to reduce carbon, waste and raw material use through sharing, repairing and re-use, and initially it involves two projects. Repair Café Portsmouth allows repairers to share their skills with people who have broken objects that generally aren’t able to be repaired on the high street, and Portsmouth Library of Things helps people to borrow items that they infrequently use. Both of these help to reduce waste and carbon, as well as saving people money.
• You’ll also be entered into a prize draw to win:
  • £100 One4all voucher
  • £50 Just Eat voucher
  • Two £25 vouchers for Waterstones or Vue Cinema

Data protection and confidentiality

This survey is run by the University to help improve teaching and the student experience. Participation is voluntary and has no impact on your studies. 

Survey responses are handled confidentially and reported in a way that does not identify individual students. Teaching staff and course teams cannot identify who has completed the survey.

For the purpose of administering the prize draw limited personal data (i.e. Student ID) are collected and are not used to analyse survey responses.

The survey is administered on behalf of the University by our approved survey provider (EvaSys) and is processed in accordance with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the University’s data protection policies.

In rare cases where feedback raises serious concerns relating to safety or wellbeing, appropriate safeguarding procedures may be followed.

Further information is available in the University Student Privacy Notice.
