Here at BU and SUBU, your feedback is essential in shaping a better university experience for everyone.

Your voice helps us understand what’s working well and where we can improve, driving positive changes across the university. We encourage you to actively participate in sharing your experiences, suggestions, and ideas throughout your degree, so together we can create a supportive and innovative environment that helps you reach your full potential.

How to feedback to BU and SUBU

National external surveys

Each year we invite you to take part in national external surveys. You’ll be asked to take part in a different survey depending on your level of study or research. Although they might be different surveys, they focus on gathering feedback about your student experience at BU (Or where your degree has led you once you finish your course).

These surveys help us understand what is working well and where we need to make improvements. The results also help future students make decisions about what and where to study.

Responding to your feedback

We understand that you need to know how we respond to your feedback and we want you to see its impact. We are committed to telling you about the feedback we've recieved and how it has been used, including any action we have taken. This could be at a unit or programme level or across BU, so that you understand what we are doing and why.

Feedback can lead to developments which will benefit future BU students. They may also result in immediate changes which directly affect you, where this is possible.
