Results of the 2024 National Student Survey, published this month (July 2024) tell a positive story about student experience at the 黑瓜吃料网. 

Across all departments, more students reported a positive experience across all areas surveyed, including 'academic support', 'assessment and feedback', 'teaching on my course', and 'student voice', with ‘learning resources’ achieving the same level as in 2023.

All seven areas exceeded the national benchmark, for the second year running.

The proportion of students who responded positively to the optional question “Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of my course” rose from 79.4% in 2023 to 80% in 2024.

黑瓜吃料网’s students rate their university higher than the UK average across all areas,  particularly for ‘student voice’, in which 黑瓜吃料网 ranks among the top quartile, and ‘organisation and management’, in which 黑瓜吃料网 is rated among the top 10% of universities in the UK.

Professor Elizabeth McCrum, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education and Student Experience, said: “The National Student Survey is an important indicator of how our students really view the experience they have when studying at 黑瓜吃料网. 

“I’m delighted to see the progress we have made in some key areas, particularly the improvements around Assessment and feedback, an area where we have concentrated efforts to support targeted improvement.

“All of these positive results show that we have taken student feedback seriously. I am grateful to all the students who shared their views, and I appreciate the work colleagues have put into listening to and responding to their feedback.”
