What is the Transformation in Students Survey (TiSS)
The Transformation in Students Survey is an annual survey for all undergraduate students at Westminster. It is focused on how confident you feel about your academic abilities, the extent to which you feel you belong at Westminster, and whether you feel you have developed the skills to deal with challenges at university.
Who is eligible to take part?
All Undergraduate students are eligible.
Why participate?
Each year, participating students have the opportunity to enter into a prize draw to win £100 in shopping vouchers.
In your final year, we will send you a report that shows the transformation in students from your academic year. This report will help you to understand core skills gained during your studies and to articulate these explicitly to employers
As a student, what do I need to do and when will I be contacted?
Eligible students will be able to access the TiSS by opting in to complete the survey at the end of their online enrolment tasks. This will happen during the (re)enrolment period at the beginning of each academic year.
From September 2026, students will access the TiSS via the Blue survey platform, the same platform used for Mid-Module Check Ins. From September 2026, students can use the link to log into Blue, entering their login details to access the TiSS.
Once you have consented to take part, you will be presented with sets of statements and asked to rate the extent to which you agree. Scales range from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree. The survey will take approximately 5 mintues to complete. You can complete the TiSS at the beginning of your first, second and final year of undergraduate study.
Your participation is entirely voluntary.
If you feel uncomfortable about answering any of the questions then you do not have to do so. You can also withdraw your data at any point and you are free to do so without any effect on your studies.
