National Student Survey Success for the School of English and Languages
Wednesday 26 September 2012
Creative Writing within the School of English and Languages has seen significant rise in the 2012 National Student Survey (NSS). It is now in the top 10 coming 7th nationally.
Several other subjects within the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences have been very successful too:
Music (98% overall satisfaction) and Politics (96% overall satisfaction) now top the table in their respected disciplines whilst Dance, Sound Recording, and Psychology all make into the top 10 in their areas.
The NSS is a national initiative, conducted annually. The survey runs across all publicly funded Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the majority of HEIs in Scotland.
Students are given the opportunity to give positive and/or negative comments on their student learning experience and the results are used to help prospective students and advisors make informed choices of where and what to study. The results are also used internally within universities to facilitate best practice and enhance the student learning experience
Further Information:
• Two subjects in first position overall: Music, Politics
• Five subjects in top 10 overall: Psychology, Politics, Dance, Music and Creative Writing
• Six subjects in top 10 of research-intensive universities: Psychology, Sociology, Politics, Dance, Drama, Music
