Record breaking results for student surveys

16 Jan 2014

Thanks to all colleagues who were involved in promoting and administering the recent Barometer and Unit Surveys, both surveys achieved record high engagement among students.

The Student Barometer was completed by almost a third of eligible students - and nearly half of our PGRs. This gives us an excellent picture of what our students think of their experience of studying here, and will help direct future energies and investment.

Unit Surveys also achieved excellent engagement. Preliminary figures, based on online only surveys, show that there were more responses than ever across all taught courses.

Results from both survey sets are being collated during January, with usable data for the Barometer expected in early spring.
