Why complete a survey?

Your views are essential to help shape the way we do things now and in the future. Completing a survey gives you an opportunity to give vital feedback on what matters to you.

As well as this, everyone who completes a survey will be in with a chance of winning an iPad.

For every survey completed, the University will make a donation to academic societies (ESES) or Edinburgh Student Charities Appeal (NSS/PTES). Last year, the University gave over £3,600 to academic societies through ESES survey donations.
