The Student Opinion Counts (SOC) survey is the single biggest piece of market research conducted by Teesside University Students' Union (TUSU). It is a chance for ALL current students to tell us more about your student life, the challenges you face when studying, where you want TUSU to fit into your student experience and how much you know about us as well as what you think of the way we are led and the impact we have for all students. Your feedback will help Student Officers, Student Reps and staff to keep improving the services, spaces, events, activities and campaigns we provide.
