The National Student Survey results for 2017 are out, and it is a story of significant progress for Sheffield Hallam this year.
The results put us in the top 50 universities in the country, with Sheffield Hallam moving up to 46th among 121 comparable higher education institutions in England.*
The National Student Survey is widely recognised as a key measure of student satisfaction and provides the opportunity for final year students to give their opinions on their course including areas they feel could be improved upon.
85 per cent of Hallam students are satisfied with the quality of their course which represents a one per cent increase on last year’s results and puts us ahead of the national average.
Hallam has also been shown to be leading the sector for satisfaction with learning resources after being ranked 8th with a score of 90 per cent.
A number of our courses received 100 per cent satisfaction including mechanical engineering, fashion, sociology, human biology, forensic accounting and international business.
Professor Christina Hughes, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Student Experience, said: “The results of this year’s NSS highlight the real progress Sheffield Hallam is making in providing an excellent experience for students as well as first-rate teaching and learning facilities.
“It is testament to the commitment and hard work of our staff that the university is rated above the sector average for England and specifically in the three TEF measures of course teaching, assessment and feedback, and academic support.
“An excellent student experience will continue to be a key priority for Sheffield Hallam. I look forward to our continued improvement in providing students with world-class teaching and support.”
