Spill the beans on Jewish student life…and win £500
Union of Jewish Students is media partnering with Jewish News in its first survey in 12 years open to the organisation's 9,000 members
The organisation representing nearly 9,000 Jewish students at 70 Jewish societies across the UK and Ireland has launched a survey to encourage its members to talk about their experiences.
The UJS National Jewish Student Survey, supported by media partner The Jewish News, is open to those who are currently at university or graduating this year.
It covers a range of issues about Jewish life on campus, including students’ religiosity, finance, engagement with communal Jewish organisations and mental health.
The UJS National Jewish Student Survey supported by our communal partners, and media partner @JewishNewsUK is now LIVE!

The aim is to deliver a clear understanding of what it means to be a Jewish student on campus today and to inform the way UJS work with students in the years to come.
Arieh Miller, Chief Executive, UJS tells Jewish News: “The last time UJS ran a Jewish Student Survey was in 2011, and so of course the shape of Jewish life on campus has changed a lot.
“This survey will help us and the wider Jewish community support both current and future generations of Jewish students. Those who are eligible to take part in the survey today can shape the life of the Jewish community on and off campus for years to come and have the chance to win up to £500 at the same time!”
There are over 30 cash prizes (up to £500) to be won, once students complete the survey, which can be found here.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
