The updated NSS asks students in the UK questions about a range of factors related to their academic experience, including the teaching on their course, assessment, and feedback, and how well courses are organised.

The 2023 NSS was open to students from January to April this year with more than 500 higher education institutions taking part and almost 340,000 students across the UK responding to the survey.

It is an independent survey that gathers final year undergraduate students' opinions on the quality of their course and is managed by the Office for Students on behalf of UK funding and regulatory bodies and administered by the independent market research agency Ipsos MORI.
