More information

Ran a UK-wide survey to understand factors influencing student mental health and what students want to see from their mental health and wellbeing support services next year.

Our Data Team analysed the survey's results using a collection of mathematical analysis and unsupervised machine learning in the form of Natural Language Processing (NLP).

NLP results from the analysis of publicly available information was used to inform the survey and it's contents to ensure it gave way to the most statistically significant insights.

Presented senior management with our findings as well as actionable policy recommendations for how Student Minds can begin to lobby universities to see much needed change within higher education.

Recommendations include lobbying all universities to make their wellbeing services opt-out as opposed to opt in as well as tailored digitised material for personal tutors and key stakeholders within universities.
