StudentSurvey.ie Reporting & Insights

The ability to capture and analyse data on the student experience is a key component of our commitment to quality. What students have to say is gathered and analysed throughout each academic year and informs ongoing, annual, and cyclical changes at a programme, school, and institutional level. The results of StudentSurvey.ie are used as a core quantitative and qualitative data set on the student experience, for use in internal and external quality assurance and improvement processes.

The results can also be accessed by Programme Directors and Coordinators to support timely and impactful programme level trend analysis, inform decision-making in Programme and School Committees, and for use in annual programme monitoring and programme review. Published StudentSurvey.ie National Reports together with the UCC results report can be accessed at National Student Engagement Survey Reports

How and when can I access programme data?

Data are available directly through the i-graduate In Touch platform. Survey responses collected during the survey fieldwork in February - March are available in May and can be downloaded, analysed, and presented for consideration in a variety of formats.

Once your access has been set up, Schools and Departments are encouraged to explore how the survey data can inform local planning and enhancement activities. To arrange a dedicated Impact Session for your team, please contact Deirdre Kearney, who can deliver tailored sessions within your School or Department.

StudentSurvey.ie Response Analytics

Using the In Touch dashboard designed by i-graduate, the company which runs the survey data collection platform, you can analyse student responses for your course for every fieldwork period since 2017. This allows you to track changes across the years.

Results are available to you which will allow you to compare the indicator score for each indicator for respondents in your programme with relevant comparators within the institution and nationally. When you combine these results with your knowledge of your course and the students enrolled, you will maximize the value of the data.
