Student satisfaction
Our story
How happy are our students? Our results from the 2018 National Student Survey (NSS) show how satisfied they are.
The NSS is an independent survey that measures student satisfaction. It asks final year students in all UK universities to give feedback on factors such as the quality of their teaching, assessment and feedback, academic support, organisation and management, learning resources and personal development.
