The Module Evaluation survey enables students to express their opinions of their learning experience at module level. It is a key indicator in the institutional processes for the enhancement and assurance of academic quality. Module evaluation forms part of the evidence base for programme's annual monitoring and validation/review.

The National Student Survey (NSS) has been conducted annually since 2005. The survey runs across all publicly funded Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and participating HEIs in Scotland. Additionally, since 2008, Further Education Colleges (FECs) with directly funded higher education students in England have been eligible to participate. Please contact your School/Department NSS Champion for NSS related queries in the first instance.
The NSS is currently delivered by Ipsos MORI and the results are made available to institutions by Texuna Technologies.
The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) is run on behalf of Advanced HE (previously the Higher Education Academy) and measures the quality of postgraduate taught provision. The survey provides the University and programme teams with information on students’ experience of postgraduate programmes and allows comparisons both with other LJMU programmes and against the sector.
PTES quantitative results (Faculty, School, and programme level scores) are available on WebHub (Reporting/Surveys/PTES). For retrospective results (e.g., full programme reports, including comments) and further information about the PTES at LJMU, please contact Elena Zaitseva, Teaching and Learning Academy.
The International Student Barometer Survey (ISB) is an independent survey designed specifically to gather opinions, expectations, and experiences of international students studying outside their home country.

The latest ISB ran in the academic year 22-23 and will next run in the academic year 24-25.
For access to ISB institutional reports, interactive results and student comments please contact Elena Zaitseva, Teaching and Learning Academy.
