All students are asked to participate in the Student Barometer summer wave 2014, a global survey of student experience run by the independent research organisation, i-graduate.
The survey takes just 10 minutes to complete, giving you the opportunity to have your say and be in with a chance of winning a £1,000 cash prize or one of five £100 Amazon vouchers in a free prize draw.
You will receive an email to your Warwick email account from the Vice-Chancellor inviting you to take part.
The deadline for completing the survey is Friday 27 June 2014. Your response will shape the student experience at Warwick for years to come by helping the University to:
- Understand your needs better
- Tailor what is delivered to meet your needs
- Evaluate any changes that have been made to check that student needs have been met
