 Dear International Graduate Students,

Just as you receive regular feedback from us as you progress through your studies, we need to receive regular feedback from you.  The Student Barometer is your opportunity to tell us what’s working, what’s frustrating and what you think of your university experience to date.

The survey forms part of a wider ongoing study and is independently administered for the University by the International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate.org).

It should take you approximately  ten to fifteen minutes to complete the survey.

 

As a thank-you for completing the questionnaire, i-graduate offers the opportunity to win a $1,000 cash prize or suggest a $1,000 donation to charity.

 

In addition UBC is also offering  four lucky students the chance to win an iPad 2 or $500 in cash. Details are in the survey.

Your response, together with the response from others, helps us to improve the student experience for current and future students.   Your feedback will be combined with that of others and your name and email address removed, so that responses become anonymous.

The reporting process includes the text of any comments that you provide.  You are advised to avoid making comments that might enable you to be individually identified.  Further analysis may be done by UBC on the anonymized data and by taking part in the survey you agree to this.
