SURVEYS

WELL, TALKING ABOUT SURVEYS, I FOUND INTERESTING DATES ABOUT STUDENTS SATISFACTIONS IN UNIVERSITIES AT THE UK, THINK ABOUT IT.

National Student Survey 2008

UEA 2nd for student satisfaction!

Student satisfaction rises yet again

Student satisfaction figures for 2008 published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England show that University of East Anglia is bettered only by Cambridge and on a par with Oxford, among mainstream English universities.

For the fourth year in succession – ever since the National Student Survey began – students have given their UEA courses a ringing endorsement, but this year’s 92% overall satisfaction figure is the University’s best ever result.

“We recruit good students, we have excellent staff and teaching facilities and we continue to improve the services we offer in response to regular feedback from our students,” said Vice-Chancellor Professor Bill Macmillan.

“Whilst we are delighted with our performance, which is a tribute to our hard-working staff, we intend to redouble our efforts to fulfil the University's objective 'To provide a student experience that is second to none in the UK'."

UEA’s Drama students are the most satisfied in the UK, while Pharmacy and Psychology students place their courses joint top.

Teaching staff were singled out for high praise in a number of departments. One hundred per cent of Politics and American Studies students and 99% of Medics say their teachers are particularly good at explaining their subject.

The National Student Survey is an annual survey which asks final year students how satisfied they have been with their courses.
