Take part in the Students Alcohol and Drugs National Survey 2024
As part of our commitment to build a healthier, safer, and happier student community, we have partnered with the Union and SOS-UK to conduct a short and confidential survey to find out more about your views and experiences relating to alcohol and drugs.
The survey is open until Tuesday 10 December and should take about 15 minutes to complete. All students can participate, even if you don’t drink or use drugs.
Your responses will be completely anonymous and will help us understand more about the changes in attitudes and behaviours towards drugs and alcohol. The findings will also feed into the University’s work to promote responsible drinking and harm reduction.
Complete the survey and as a thank you you’ll be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win £100.
