Online Surveys overview

JISC Online Surveys (formerly Bristol Online Survey - BOS) is an easy-to-use online tool for creating, distributing and analysing surveys. It is entirely web-based with no limits on the number of surveys you can create or the number of respondents you can have. It also allows surveys to be shared and supports collaborative survey development. Visit the Online Surveys support web site for more information.

How to get access

IT Services manage an organisation-wide licence for Online Surveys and any student, staff member or academic visitor can request an account for creating surveys via IT self service.
