UHI will receive a full set of anonymised survey data in July/August 2025. The data will be analysed and shared with various committees to help shape improvements for the following academic year.

Any courses that perform below average in 'overall satisfaction' are required to develop an action plan to address concerns and enhance the learning experience.
