Our school shines in National Student Survey

The School of Mathematics has achieved outstanding results in the latest National Student Survey (NSS).

With overall student satisfaction rising to an impressive 83.5%, reflecting an increase of around 4%, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to providing an excellent academic experience.

The results show significant improvements to student satisfaction across all thematic areas of the survey:

• Teaching on my course: 86.4% satisfaction (up 10.7%)
• Learning Opportunities: 80% satisfaction (up 6.6%)
• Assessment and Feedback: 73% satisfaction (up 3.6%)
• Academic Support: 90.1% satisfaction (up 9.7%)
• Organisation and Management: 90.1% satisfaction (up 9.7%)
• Learning Resources: 87.4% satisfaction (up 6.7%)
• Student Voice: 73.9% satisfaction (up 11.5%)

These results highlight the efforts and dedication of our faculty and staff to enhance the educational experience for our students.  We achieved the best results among all Russell Group mathematics departments in key areas such as the fairness of marking and assessments, as well as the ability of assessments to effectively allow students to demonstrate their learning.

The biggest area of improvement was in relation to student voice. We made considerable efforts to make sure our students’ feedback is heard and we continue to work together to improve their learning experience. Our courses are among the best organised in the Russell Group and students highly value how we communicate with them.

We remain committed to creating an environment of academic excellence and to providing our students with the resources and support they need to succeed. We look forward to building on these achievements and continuing to offer an outstanding educational experience.
