What do Research Insiders do?
Once you sign up, we’ll send you opportunities to take part in things like:
-
paid or compensated focus groups and interviews
-
surveys and consultations
-
research projects about the issues affecting UAL students
-
opportunities to test new ideas and services
-
our new monthly Research Insiders Pulse
You can choose which opportunities you want to take part in. There’s no obligation to do everything we send you.
Depending on the opportunity, you may receive payment, vouchers, entry into a prize draw or another form of compensation as a thank you for your time.
What is Research Insiders Pulse?
Every month, Research Insiders will receive a short three-question Pulse survey about an aspect of their student experience.
It only takes a few minutes to complete, and each month you’ll have the chance to be entered into a prize draw as a thank you for sharing your views.
Your responses will help us keep track of what students are experiencing throughout the year and identify issues where Arts SU may need to take action.
Does taking part make a difference?
Yes. Research Insiders have already contributed to major Arts SU research projects including Name Your Price, our research into the cost of studying at UAL, and Art or Algorithm?, which explored students’ experiences and views of artificial intelligence.
The experiences students share with us help Arts SU build evidence, influence UAL and campaign for improvements to student life.
