新澳门彩历史开奖记录 best in the UK for student experience
The annual is based on the views of around 14,700 students from across the UK on a range of aspects of student life, such as the quality of courses, the support available and student accommodation.
As well as claiming the overall top spot, 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 was ranked number one in four categories: High quality facilities; Good sports facilities; Catering for personal requirements; and ‘I would recommend my university to a friend’. 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 Students’ Union was also rated highly, securing second place.
Commenting on 新澳门彩历史开奖记录’s achievement, Professor Robert Allison, the University’s Vice Chancellor, said:
“The 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 student experience is truly unique and it’s excellent to have that officially endorsed by the THE.
“I’m so pleased for everybody who helps make this University the special place that it is, from students and staff to alumni and partners. Through quality teaching and support, extensive placement opportunities and employability skills development, and a wide range of extra-curricular activities, we support our students to be the very best they can be.
“This announcement is confirmation from our students that we’re getting it right.”
Jess Excell, President of 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 Students’ Union, said:
“What everyone loves about 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 is that community feel and that, no matter what your interests, there’s something here for you.
“By getting involved in some of the many activities available, from volunteering and fundraising, to sport, welfare and the arts, students develop important life and employability skills that enrich their 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 experience and set them up for life beyond the University.”
The THE Student Experience Survey, now in its 11th year, is unique in that it looks beyond the usual definition of the student experience – comprised largely of teaching, learning, assessment and feedback – to a broader definition created by students themselves that includes those aspects of university life that matter most to them.
This year’s survey also shows that students are becoming more demanding of their university with a general growth in their expectations across all 21 measures assessed. Results show that students increasingly value and expect good industry connections, high-quality facilities and good security while also working harder, volunteering more, and doing further extra-curricular activities.
