What happens next?

The participating higher education institutions will get the results for students in their institution in early May. They will then work on analysing the data (sometimes using tools developed by the StudentSurvey.ie Analysis and Impact Group available here).

Students can expect results from September onwards, and to feel the impacts of changes made on foot of student feedback for years to come!

The StudentSurvey.ie National Report 2022 will be published in October 2022. In the meantime, read previous years' results and other interesting publications from StudentSurvey.ie here.
