Bangorâs graduates - more satisfied than the average student
As the annual scramble for university places gets underway, those students heading for Âé¶čAV will be pleased to know that theyâll be joining some of Walesâs most satisfied students.
The results of the latest national student satisfaction survey reflect well on the teaching and student care provided to Âé¶čAVâs students.
Yet again this year, Bangorâs graduating students reported that they were 86% satisfied with their university experience, a level of satisfaction above both the Wales and UK average. The results place Bangor alongside Cardiff University, as joint second among Walesâ universities.
Students completing degrees at the Universityâs Schools of Education, Psychology, and Sport, Health & Exercise Sciences at the University were particularly satisfied with their experience, putting the Schools among the top in the UK in those subjects according to the student experience.
Education was placed in top place in the UK according to student satisfaction, Psychology in 5th place and Sport Sciences in 10th place.
âYear on year, our goal is to further improve the student experience at Bangor,â said Professor Colin Baker, Pro Vice Chancellor at Âé¶čAV.
"The National Student Survey provides important information for prospective students researching what course to follow at which University. Our focus at Bangor is on providing a high quality teaching and learning experience for our students. The results of this and our own surveys assist us in improving the education and student experience for all our students," he added.
The teaching, assessment and feedback were the areas which Bangorâs students rated most highly, with above average levels of satisfaction reported.
