StudentSurvey.ie is Ireland’s national survey of student engagement, and has been undergoing an extensive review process over the last two years. That review has now concluded with the development of a new StudentSurvey.ie questionnaire. The survey is shorter, and language is more accessible. The survey has also been updated to reflect the contemporary student experience. Our website has much more on this – check it out!
