The final response rates are back for the university in the 2015 National Student Survey (NSS).
The survey opened to our students on Monday 12 January and closed on Thursday 30 of April.
Our final response rate was 76% compared with 77% in 2014. The final charity donation for Edinburgh Cyrenians was £7481. The initial results of the 2014 NSS will be available on Friday 31 of July 2015.

As a result of the eligibility criteria for the NSS each year we have a small number of students who are eligible to take part but have actually left the institution (an example of where this can happen is when we believe a student will return for their final year but they then decide not to do this). As an indicator we provide an additional set of response rates based on the students who are still attending the University based on the student records system (for information purposes only).
Please note these figures should only be used as a guide as students who have left the institution will be contacted by personal email, phone and post so they still have numerous opportunities to complete the survey.
