The Student Voice Panel

Listen to students with purpose.

The IIS Student Voice Panel gives you direct access to more than 17,000 students across the UK and Australia, so your biggest decisions are built on evidence, not assumptions.

Why it matters

Better decisions begin with better insight.

Whether you’re investing in new accommodation, launching a new service or shaping future strategy, every important decision is stronger when it’s informed by the people it affects most.

The best strategies aren’t built on assumptions. They’re built on evidence.

What could you ask?

More than a research project.

Every organisation has questions. The Panel helps you explore them, from understanding what drives student choices, to testing new ideas, shaping strategy and looking ahead to what students will want next.

Whatever your question, we’ll design the research around it.

“Why do students choose one accommodation over another?”

“Would students use this new service?”

“Which facilities matter most?”

“What will matter most to students in five years’ time?”
