New students at all levels of study can give their confidential feedback on the experience of joining UCL via the online survey until 17 December

New to UCL  (log-in required) is our annual survey for new students at all levels of study (undergraduate, postgraduate and research), including those studying via affiliates.  

The online questionnaire lets you have your say on your reasons for choosing UCL, the information you received in the welcome period, and the support available to you as a student.  

All your responses and open text comments will be carefully anonymised.

Your feedback drives changes

We are committed to working in partnership with students to develop education and the student experience, and your responses are a valuable source of feedback.  

Survey results and anonymised comments are reviewed by senior staff at influential meetings such as Departmental Teaching Committees and the Student Experience Committee (StEC). 

Students’ feedback through surveys including New to UCL has already inspired several significant improvements across the university. The most notable changes in recent years include: 


    The introduction of Student Advisers - Our Student Advisers offer dedicated pastoral and educational support across our faculties. Based in your department, student advisors are here to support your transition to university life and happy to discuss any wellbeing, support and student experience matters. Get in touch with student advisors in your department.

    The launch of the UCL Student Support Framework - This comprehensive framework explains the main academic support processes available to help you and how you can apply for support such as extensions, reasonable adjustments or taking time out from your studies, along with Academic Adjustments for students who are parents or carers. Read the Student Support Framework.

    Greater online learning resources  - We have invested in over 270,000 new e-books and other types of digital resources, as well as securing access to 30 new databases. You can access all these resources through out library services.
