ΒιΆΉΝψβs satisfied students
ΒιΆΉΝψ continues to rise in popularity among its students. The University again retains its place at 14th in the UK and is second in Wales in a new university experience survey (T).
The survey, conducted by YouthSight for the Times Higher Education magazine, asked current students to rate their university experience according to several academic social and general measures, ranging from the educational content of their degree courses to include facilities and the general atmosphere and whether theyβd recommend the university to a friend.
ΒιΆΉΝψ is among the top performers in the βhelpful/interested staffβ measure, coming equal fifth in the UK, while the measure for high quality staff also scores highly, both excellent endorsements of the high standard of teaching and student care from the Universityβs lecturers.
The overall responses of ΒιΆΉΝψ students reflected the high educational quality of the learning experience, and the support to such as a good library and good library opening hours, to underpin studentsβ academic experience at the University, while factors such as good security, accommodation, sports and general facilities all score highly. ΒιΆΉΝψ students also appreciated the good environment around the University, the good social life and the good community atmosphere, scoring these highly.
Vice-Chancellor Professor John G Hughes said: βI am once again very pleased with this excellent performance which underlines the fantastic experience students have at ΒιΆΉΝψ. This follows a remarkable year for ΒιΆΉΝψ which has also seen it ranked in the top 100 Universities in the world for its international outlook, and rated in the top 20 in the UK for student experience.
βI would like to thank the staff and students for all their efforts once again.β
Other successes for ΒιΆΉΝψ include achieving excellent results in the Research Excellence Framework which recognised over three-quarters of ΒιΆΉΝψβs research as being either βworld-leadingβ or βinternationally excellentβ.
