About us

Details of staff working on the Course Enhancement Reporting Programme

As the University’s central point of contact for information on student surveying activity, the team:

gains feedback from students on their Edinburgh experience
identifies opportunities to enhance the student experience
helps staff interpret and use our survey results
communicates to students any actions taken as a result of our surveys

Key areas of focus

Our surveys

Our primary surveys include:

the National Student Survey
the Edinburgh Student Experience Survey
the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey
the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey
the New Students Survey
the International Student Barometer

EvaSys implementation

We work with school-based colleagues across the University to help them implement EvaSys, the University’s course evaluation tool.

The surveying software allows for the mass generation of bespoke course evaluation surveys and reports and has, to date, been adopted by the majority of schools.

University-wide surveys: application assistance

If you wish to conduct a University-wide survey, or one that extends beyond one school, you must apply to the Student Surveys Ethics Committee for permission.

Contact our team in the first instance, and we will assist you with your application and liaise with the committee on your behalf.

The Committee comprises representatives from Student Services and the three colleges.

It will consider the timing and content of your survey along with any potential ethical issues.
