Surveys

We want our members to be at the heart of our work and to tell us how they want to engage with UUSU and what they think our priorities should be.

Our end of year survey has just closed with over 1,254 respondents completing the survey. We will use the survey data to ensure our students’ voices are heard in shaping our future work.

Several years ago, there was a review into student sport which recommended that the governance of student sport move from the Students’ Union across to the University. The governance of most student sport sits within the University rather than the Students’ Union in most UK universities.

However, the Students’ Union still represent and supports the clubs via our VP Sport & Wellbeing and our Student Voice Coordinator Engagement. UUSU conducted a sports survey at the start of the academic year asking students about the support they received from the Students’ Union and the University regarding sports.

The survey responses reflected a good campus balance and the views of fourteen different clubs. 80% of respondents wanted to give feedback to UUSU.

The main action from the survey is to establish Online Drop in Forums for each semester to gather club feedback to represent and support the clubs.

The main concerns from sports clubs are lack of funding which could in the future stop the clubs fulfilling their fixtures, buying sports equipment and/or being able to pay for enough coaching hours.
