University scores highly with final-year students

The University of Wolverhampton has improved in several areas of student satisfaction, according to the latest National Student Survey (NSS).

Final year attendees rated academic development and student learning above average, the university said.

Learning opportunities and student voice also received high marks in the independent survey which was completed by about 2,000 students.

Professor Gill Knight, pro vice chancellor, academic leadership and student experience, said she was "absolutely delighted" with this year's results which showed improvements across all seven core themes.

Thanking the students who took part, she added: "This is a fantastic testament to the dedication and hard work of our academic and professional services staff, who work together to deliver an outstanding student experience.

"It's especially rewarding to see that we are performing above the sector average in four key areas, including teaching quality, assessment and feedback, and student voice.

"These results show that our students recognise our commitment to excellent teaching, meaningful support and, crucially, that we listen and respond to their feedback."

The UK-wide survey is carried out every year to gather feedback from final-year undergraduate students about their experiences in higher education.
