Student satisfaction at Loughborough has increased again, according to the latest National Student Survey, published on 12 August.

Eighty-nine percent of Loughborough’s students, compared with a national average of 86%, are satisfied overall with their course, placing the University in the top 15% of the UK’s 156 higher education institutions.

The annual survey asks final year undergraduate students to rate their satisfaction with various aspects of their degree programme – the teaching, assessment and feedback, academic support, organisation and management, learning resources, personal development and their overall satisfaction.

In each of these areas Loughborough’s results are higher than the UK sector average.

Loughborough Students’ Union also achieved a 90% satisfaction rating.

Loughborough students rated the University particularly well for its learning resources, with 92% of them, compared with the UK average of just 85%, saying they were satisfied with the library resources, the IT services and the specialist facilities and equipment.

Eighty-eight percent of Loughborough students were also satisfied with the organisation and management of their course, significantly ahead of the sector average of 79%.

Almost 77% of Loughborough’s final year undergraduates took part in the survey, compared withthe national average response rate of 71%.
