National Student Survey - Results

Results

Aggregate results and cross-institution results and analyses of the NSS are published on the HEFCE website. Detailed results suitable for prospective students are published on the Unistats website, alongside results of the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education survey.

Results from the survey form the student-centred dimension of Teaching Quality Information (TQI). As such, they are often incorporated into League tables of British universities alongside other measures such as entry standards, student:staff ratio, dropout rate etc.

Top institutions for student satisfaction have been:

  • 2005 Courtauld Institute of Art (100%)
  • 2006 Open University (95%)
  • 2007 Open University (95%)
  • 2008 North Warwickshire and Hinckley College (97%) joint with City College Birmingham (97%)
  • 2009 Brooklands College (100%)

Further Education Colleges became eligible for the survey in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word results:

    ... dependence upon material possessions inevitably results in the destruction of human character.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.
    Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)

    Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
