Violence at university: new survey available for universities 

The survey can be a useful tool in helping universities understand how students may experience violence and harassment in their specific context. While it is not a prevalence survey, it can give a better understanding of the nature of issues students face, and help universities to take a more targeted response.   

Universities who make use of this survey are asked to contact the research team via Carrie Myers at City University. This will help the team to further evaluate the survey and inform possible future stages of their work.   

The survey was developed for use in a pilot study investigating students’ experiences of violence while studying at UK universities. The study was conducted by City, University of London, with collaboration from the University of Surrey, De Montfort University, Universities UK, and the National Centre for Social Research. The full findings can be found on City, University of London's website.
