The SESQ is an exit survey firstly proposed in 2006 and launched in 2007 to collect feedback from final year students. During its development, consultation was made with relevant stakeholders which included representatives of Schools/AIS and support units. Efforts were also made to review relevant research literature, in particular overseas studies on student engagement (e.g. National Survey of Student Engagement [NSSE]).

As one in the series of Annual UG Student Surveys^Note, the SESQ now covers the following aspects:

• Overall evaluation
• Academic experience
• Other learning experience
• Relationships with teaching staff and peers
• Learning outcomes

At the end of data collection, aggregate results are consolidated and made available to Schools/AIS, departments and support units.

Note: It includes Intake Survey, First Year Experience Survey (FYES) and Student Engagement and Satisfaction Questionnaire Survey (for final year students, SESQ).
