The University of Exeter has recorded across-the-board improvements in the latest National Student Survey (NSS), it has been announced.
Among the most notable increases are those that have been central to the University’s work on student experience over recent years: Assessment & Feedback, Student Voice, and Academic Support.
The NSS results show strong and consistent progress across all core themes. Notable highlights include an 8.5% increase in the timeliness of assessment and feedback and a 2.4% rise in the overall Assessment & Feedback theme, alongside significant gains in academic support and mental wellbeing communications – reflecting the University’s ongoing commitment to providing outstanding student wellbeing and inclusive engagement.
Other key highlights included Teaching on my course at 87.7% (+1.3%), Academic support at 87.2% (+2.0%), and Learning resources at 88.3% (+1.8%) – all reflecting Exeter’s continued commitment to high-quality teaching and student support.
The University also recorded a strong response rate of more than 68 per cent – which reflects strong engagement and satisfaction among Exeter students.
Professor Tim Quine, Vice-President and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Student Experience) said: “It is pleasing to see the progress and improvement made in our National Student Survey results, which reflect our steadfast commitment to ensuring our students and their success is at the very heart of all that we do here at Exeter. We can all be rightly proud of our progress, which is driven by our whole community, working together to create the learning environment, opportunities and experience that enables our students to thrive.
“It is vital that we listen to the voice of our students to create a university and environment that encourages and nurtures them to reach their full potential and flourish. And while we know there is still more to do, and more we can achieve together, we remain focused on continuing this upward trajectory in the years ahead. I would like to offer my sincere thanks and congratulations to all our colleagues and students who have helped bring these results and successes to fruition.”
