Calling all final year students! 2012 National Student Survey

6 February 2012

Dear Students,

It is the time of year of the National Student Survey, when we ask you and fellow students in your final year to provide us with feedback on the quality of teaching, assessment, and support at SOAS. I know that many of you are in the process of contemplating the next steps in your life. This is the ideal time to reflect on your experience here and the ways in which the School has prepared you for life after SOAS and, most important for me, on the areas in which we as an institution could improve.

Survey results from the previous years are already informing our decisions, and we hope that your feedback will allow us to further improve upon the student experience at SOAS. This will be of real benefit to the students that follow in your footsteps and also to those of you that return to SOAS for postgraduate work or other programmes in the future. Our ability to continually improve the learning and teaching environment at SOAS will ensure that the School remains a leading institution for years to come.

You will be contacted directly by email from Ipsos MORI asking you to take the survey. It should only take five minutes to complete and I would be very grateful if you would take this time to help. It can also be accessed through the National Student Survey website at www.thestudentsurvey.com

Find out more about the survey and the special events organised for the launch at the information desk by the main staircase this week.

The best of luck with the rest of the year and in your final examinations!

Thanks and best wishes,

Professor Paul Webley
Director & Principal
