The survey sets out to capture our students’ impressions of their university experience so far this year, as well as asking about various aspects related to student life—academic and social experiences, learning within and outside the classroom, interaction with peers, managing time, services and spaces, technology, sustainability, pastoral care, and overall student wellbeing.

The YOU Student Wellbeing Survey April 2024
The YOU Student Wellbeing Survey is a long-term project, which aims to understand more about how student experiences interact with their wellbeing. To do this, we are reaching out to students twice a year for each year they study at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington.
Wave 7 of the survey is being sent to fourth-year undergraduate students on Monday 22 April 2024.
It is important for us to understand how your wellbeing impacts your studies. Please refer to student services if you need any additional support.
Insights from the survey will be used to inform the University’s learning environment and support services.
We are sending this survey to students who enrolled as undergraduates at the beginning of 2021, completed the baseline survey and were willing to be contacted again.
If you are in this group, a link to the survey will be sent to you by email and you can complete it online from Monday 22 April to Sunday 5 May.
You will be asked to supply your Student ID number and your last name to gain access to the survey. This ensures that the correct group of students are taking part.
The survey should take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and your responses are confidential.
To say thanks for completing this follow-up survey, we are giving away four $50 cash prizes and a $300 grand prize towards your living expenses.
The survey closes at 11.59 pm on Sunday 5 May.

Graduate Destinations Survey
The purpose of the Graduate Destinations Survey is to understand the types of employment, or further study opportunities, graduates may take up after completing their qualifications. It takes place in Trimester 2 each year and goes out to graduates who completed their studies between the beginning of July the previous year and the end of June in the current year.
