ISSE is delighted to see that students continue to take part in the 2017 survey. More than 29000 first years, final years and taught postgraduate students have taken part so far in 2017. Twelve institutions’ fieldwork has finished, ten more finish within the next week and students from five further institutions have from one to three weeks remaining in which to participate. The higher the number of responses, the greater the value of the data, and the greater uses of students’ views to inform continued improvements.
