Background: Historically, CUSU ran an annual Big Cambridge Survey to understand the problems facing Cambridge Students. We want to bring this back so we can best understand what you want us to campaign on!
What have we done? I launched the Big Undergraduate Survey at the end of Lent 2025 with questions on workload, student voice, finance and accommodation, and welfare. It is for non-finalist undergraduates and we are aiming for 500 total responses from all colleges and courses to gain representative information about your experiences in Cambridge! The data will be analysed across Easter term for publication before Michaelmas 2025.
What do we want to achieve? We want this survey to be repeated annually to track how the student experience changes in Cambridge over time. It will be particularly interesting to see how students' experiences of workload changes over time as the recommendations of the teaching review are implemented
