What is the NSS?

The NSS is a nationwide survey conducted by Ipsos, an independent research agency, and commissioned by the Office for Students (OfS). It gathers feedback from final-year undergraduate students across the UK about the quality of their courses.

Why does the NSS matter?

Your opinion matters. By participating in the NSS, you contribute to meaningful improvements at King’s. Thanks to student feedback we are:

  • Improving your assessment experience, by scrapping the cap on late coursework submissions, updating our mitigating circumstances policy, and adding a grace period for online exam submissions.
  • Supported your studies, through our academic skills support sessions, free Generative AI in Higher Education course and Essential Digital Skills programme.
  • Prioritising your wellbeing, by investing in our counselling, mental health and disability teams to reduce wait times, offering Take Time Out Tuesdays and Thursdays, and offering 'Relaxed Graduations' for those who prefer a less busy setting.
  • Enhancing your sense of community, by updating our Community Charter, offering free Community Breakfasts and Community Fridge, and by introducing a film club and arts club.
  • Supporting your career journey, through our careers fairs, home and international events, our King's Edge programme, our expanding range of technologies including Graduates First, Shortlist.me, Student Circus, and through digital degree certificates which verify your credentials with employers.
  • Celebrating and supporting our diversity, through our Welcome Ceremonies, by streamlining our King's Inclusion Plan and Personalised Assessment Arrangements processes, and through our Black Excellence programme.
  • Improving our campuses and campus safety, by maximising our study spaces, improving campus signage, introducing our SafeZone app, Report and Support, training to prevent and address bullying and harassment, creating a women's only gym and extending opening times during Ramadan.
