Promote the Be Well Survey to Students

The Be Well Survey is open from Monday 20 October to Sunday 9 November 2025. It asks all students about their wellbeing, mental health, and the support available at the University of Bath. Staff play a crucial role in encouraging students to take part. High participation ensures feedback represents the full student experience and helps shape services for the future.

The University wants as many students as possible to take part - regardless of their personal experiences or knowledge of mental health. The survey explores aspects of student life, wellbeing, experiences of harassment, and support-seeking behaviours. It takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymised. The only exception to anonymisation is if a student’s response indicates a serious concern that they may be a danger to themselves or others.

As a thank-you, students who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win:

  • 1 × £500 cash

  • 2 × £100 cash

  • 2 × £50 cash

How results are used

Anonymised data and insights are reviewed by:

  • The SU Bath

  • University Student Support

  • Other relevant University committees and researchers

Results are used to improve mental health and wellbeing services, facilitate informed discussions, support action planning, and guide further research.

How staff can help:

Your support in encouraging students to take part is vital. You can:

  • Share the survey link with your students via emails

  • Remind students to login using their University username (without @bath.ac.uk) as the Respondent ID and their 9-digit student number as the Password

  • Mention the survey in tutorials, seminars, or workshops.

  • Highlight the importance of student voices in shaping wellbeing support.

Key points to reassure students:

  • The survey is completely confidential and their answers will be anonymised.

  • Students can pause or stop at any time.

  • Participation is voluntary and all questions are optional.
