果冻影院 is now ranked in the top quartile in the Russell Group for the first time for Learning Resources, Learning Opportunities and Student Voice, and in the second quartile for every other category.听听

Scores increased for almost every category of the NSS, except for Assessment & Feedback which decreased slightly by 0.6%. The biggest improvements compared to last year are in Learning Resources, which increased by 9.2%, putting us second among the Russell Group universities, which have increased by 5.5%.听

Professor Kathleen Armour, 果冻影院 Vice-Provost (Education & Student Experience), said:听听

"Student feedback informs the improvements we are making to education and the student experience at 果冻影院. After welcoming students back to campus, we are pleased to see a positive increase across so many areas. However, our students are telling us we still have work to do particularly in Assessment & Feedback. 听

Through the strategic plan, we will develop a Teaching and Assessment framework which will set out the principles for how we make sure that all students benefit from an excellent approach to education, as well as addressing some of our underlying challenges through investing in our structures and campus.鈥澨

We are working hard to improve our students鈥 experience. Areas for development are identified in 果冻影院鈥檚 Strategic Plan 2022-27 consultation, Discussion Paper Five Education Priorities and Programmes 颈苍肠濒耻诲颈苍驳:听

Assessment & Feedback听听

  • Developing a new Teaching and Assessment Framework to look at principles underlying our approach and to support departments to deliver a distinctive and inspiring education.听听

  • Developing a brand-new skills unit to bring together education and practice development, Careers, and student skills. It will deliver training to improve teaching and assessment and provide students with opportunities to develop academic and employability skills.听听

  • Restructuring the academic year to optimise teaching time, space-out and reduce clustering of assessment and therefore relieve the pressure on students, whilst also creating space for other learning opportunities that add value to the student experience.听听

  • Introducing a new Pro-Vice-Provost Education (Student Academic Experience) to help faculties and departments respond to teaching and assessment challenges.听

Other areas of improvement include:听听

Academic Support听

  • Creating a new Student Support Framework which draws together 果冻影院's main academic support processes to help students better understand the options open to them.听听

  • Introducing a new Pro-Vice-Provost Education (Student Academic Engagement) role to lead on personal academic tutoring and student voice, working closely with the Student Union and student Mental Health and Wellbeing services.听

Student Voice听

  • Developing a new continuous module dialogue process to improve the process of student evaluation of modules and programmes and encourage dialogue between staff and students.听

Student feedback is shaping 果冻影院听

Professor Armour added: "71% of our final year undergraduates took part in NSS 2022 鈥 I鈥檇 like to thank every student for their feedback. Such a high response is also a tribute to the hard work of 果冻影院 staff to engage with their students and let them know that their feedback helps to shape 果冻影院.鈥澨

The NSS is managed on behalf of the Office for Students (OfS) by Ipsos MORI, an independent survey research agency, which runs the NSS during the second term each year.听
