Kōrero mai Have your say
As a student, your voice matters. Help shape policy, proposals, and plans that affect you during your time at the University.
Each year, we ask you to complete online surveys to give feedback on your time at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. The insights from these surveys are used to inform decision making and improve student focused initiatives.
Each year we send out two main surveys:
- Student Voice—Getting Started: a chance for new students to share their first impressions of Te Herenga Waka:
- Student Voice—Have Your Say: all students are invited to give their feedback on their university experience.
You let us know what we’re doing well
“It's been a great experience so far. All the departments have helped in a great way—starting from International Support to the Faculty. Everyone is welcoming and it makes the University a great place to be at!”
—Respondent, Getting Started Survey, April 2023.
And things we need to do better
It’s important to us that you have a positive experience before you enrol for your studies, during your time on campus, and as you move into your career after graduating.
We value your opinion and want your feedback to ensure we’re making continual improvements.
In previous years, student surveys helped us to:
- demonstrate the importance of flexible study
- improve our orientation programme
- enhance workshops
- signal which services require more support
- indicate a need to strengthen our enrolment process.
Results from previous surveys
We aim to be transparent about the changes we make every year based on the feedback from our surveys. We always share your insights and what improvements we’ve made, or are currently making, on our website.
