What Our Students Think About Us

Every year, final-year undergraduates take part in the National Student Survey [NSS], and first- and second-year undergraduates take part in the University’s own Student Satisfaction Surveys [SSS]. Here are some of the things that students in our Department said in free text comments in the most recent surveys. For further details, see student surveys.
