National Student Survey 2009

 

 

The table below is based on the first 15 questions in the National Student Survey taken by final-year students at British universities. These cover statements such as "the course is intellectually stimulating", "staff have made the subject interesting" and "I have been able to contact staff when I needed to". Students rate their institution on a five-point scale.

The survey has been used for four years and there are signs that it is being used by prospective students because some universities with the largest increase in applications this year, such as Leicester, Loughborough and Exeter, did well in it last year. Full details of the survey will be published on Unistats on the 29th Sept 2009.
