Student Life Pulse

University of Manchester Students' Union are committed to understanding the lives of our students and their experiences at university. In order to do this, we are proud members of the Student Life Pulse, an online survey specially developed for student unions in the UK.

The study will track the experience of our students throughout the academic year, as well as their perceptions and experiences of the union itself. We’ll use the information collected to develop and plan our services for the future and act as the voice of our students.

Between October and June you will receive an email inviting you to take part by completing the online survey. We want to hear the views of as many of our students as possible, so we hope you can spare a few minutes to help us with this important research!
