First year and final year undergraduates and students undertaking taught postgraduate programmes at IT Sligo are being encouraged to ‘have their say’ by participating in the new National Student Survey which was launched today (Monday, March 4th, 2013).
The survey, which is being conducted by the Higher Education Authority, will measure the experience of students attending higher education institutions in Ireland.
All responses are confidential and the survey only takes 10 minutes to complete.
The Minister for Education and Skills Ruairí Quinn TD said that the survey is “a key tool in measuring the wider performance and quality of Irish higher education.”
Dr Brendan McCormack, Registrar at IT Sligo encouraged students to fill out the survey, saying; “This is the first national student survey of its kind in Ireland and its success, and the impact it can have, will be determined by the level of response it gets from students. The survey represents an important opportunity for students to have their voices heard at the highest level about the type of experience they’re having and the level of service they’re receiving and I would encourage all eligible students to fill out the survey.”
Invitations to fill out the survey have been issued to students today by email. The deadline for responses is April 12th 2013.
