鈥淲e are delighted that our finalists have once again reported such high levels of satisfaction across the Department. These results reflect the commitment and hard work of our staff, as well as the constructive partnership we have with our students. It is particularly encouraging to see such strong scores for teaching, academic support, learning resources and organisation, together with our leading Russell Group position for assessment and feedback.

鈥淣SS feedback is extremely important to us, helping us understand our students' priorities, celebrate what is working well, and identify where we can continue to improve. I would like to thank our finalists for taking the time to share their views and all colleagues for their dedication to providing an outstanding student experience.鈥�
