Your Essex Survey (YES)

The Your Essex Survey (YES) is an annual in-house survey for undergraduate and postgraduate students. It invites you to reflect on your time at university so far in relation to your course and wider learning experience. The survey is run each spring term and is open to first, second, some third/final year and all postgraduate students. If you are an undergraduate student, you will be asked to complete it for each year of study, until your final year when you will be invited to complete the NSS.

We’re keen to make sure students have the best possible experience while studying at the University. To do that we need to know what we are doing well and what we can do better. The survey is a chance to reflect on how you study and what might help your studies in future. The results also help the University and Students’ Union to make changes that will improve what we do in future and to make sure we keep doing the things that are of value to students.

If you’re eligible to complete the survey, we will contact you in the Spring Term to invite you to take part.
