Survey Review (2023-2025)
StudentSurvey.ie was reviewed over the course of 2022-2025 and relevant resources can be found here.
In 2022, StudentSurvey.ie entered a period of Strategic Reflection and Review. The review process aimed to deepen understanding of student engagement within the context of a rapidly evolving higher education landscape.
To achieve this, current trends were examined, challenges, and opportunities, leading to the commissioning of two reports—the Mi:Lab report and the Crowe report—to provide actionable insights and inform the redesign of StudentSurvey.ie.
Informed by these reports and extensive feedback from stakeholders, the Steering Group decided to postpone fieldwork in 2024, opting instead to conduct a comprehensive review of the survey instrument. This review sought to reaffirm the pivotal role of the student voice in enhancing higher education experiences. A revised taught survey was put in place for 2026, following an 18-month review process carried out by a StudentSurvey.ie Review Working Group. This survey will run on a biennial basis from 2026 onwards.
