Information for Participants

This survey will give Herts SU and the University of Hertfordshire valuable insights into your unique experience as a student. You will be asked questions about your Start of Term Experiences, the start of your Academic Journey, and settling into the UH Community.

Herts SU will be running a prize draw as part of this research, and you will be contacted via the contact details associated with your Student ID number if you are a winner. By entering your Student ID number, you are opting-in to the prize draw.

The results of this survey will be presented anonymously, and we will take all steps possible to ensure that you cannot be identified from your responses. We will ask for your Student ID number, which will allow us to track how many UH students take part in our research each year, and to ensure that each response represents one individual student.

Your Student ID numbers will not be published publicly and will be separated from your survey responses before analysis.

This survey will take 5 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact the Herts SU Insight Team: research@hertssu.com
