What students say about being here

NSS 2026

There is no single satisfaction score here because English providers are no longer asked one — the overall satisfaction question was dropped from the survey in England after 2022 and kept in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The seven themes below are what the survey now reports.

70
students responded · 73.7%
How well does the students' union (association or guild) represent students' academic interests?
68.3%
How well communicated was information about your university/college's mental wellbeing support services?
92.4%
During your studies, how free did you feel to express your ideas, opinions, and beliefs?
82.6%

Bars run 0–100%, so bar length is the score. The vertical mark is the score expected of this provider given its intake — the survey publishes no test of whether a gap to it is real, so none is claimed here. Click a theme to see the questions it is built from.

International students are: the survey’s eligibility rules turn on course type and stage, not domicile, so these scores include the views of the students you would be sending.
