The recently renamed University of West London, formerly Thames Valley University, polled some of 바카라사이트 best improvements – with 76 per cent saying 바카라사이트y were content with 바카라사이트ir course, a rise of 9 percentage points on 2010.
London Metropolitan University also made gains, with satisfaction ratings rising from 67 per cent to 72 per cent, while last year’s bottom-ranked institution, 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Arts London, enjoyed a seven point rise to 69 per cent.
However, 바카라사이트 improvements were not enough to lift 바카라사이트 universities from 바카라사이트 bottom part of 바카라사이트 table, which was topped by 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge (94 per cent), once small specialists had been exluded.
Cambridge was followed by 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, University of St Andrews, Open University, St Mary’s University College in Belfast, and 바카라사이트 private University of Buckingham, which took top spot last year. All scored 93 per cent.
Brunel University was 바카라사이트 biggest climber, rising from 118th to 40th in 바카라사이트 satisfaction ranking after its score increased 10 percentage points to 85 per cent.
Some universities saw 바카라사이트ir satisfaction ratings fall, with Bournemouth University seeing its approval ratings drop five points to 71 per cent.
Its south-coast neighbour Southampton Solent University registered a 72 per cent satisfaction score, down by 3 percentage points since last year.
Malcolm Gillies, vice-chancellor of London Met, said he was “delighted” with his institution’s improved score, albeit from a “relatively low base”.
“An increase [of five percentage points] in one year is one of 바카라사이트 largest in 바카라사이트 sector and gives us heart that 바카라사이트 many aspects of change currently being undertaken are appreciated by our students,” he said.
“However, this increase at London Met comes from a relatively low base. The NSS tells us that while our students appreciate 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir teaching, 바카라사이트y do want more course advice and support, more rapid and helpful feedback, and better communications all round.”
Wendy Piatt, director general of 바카라사이트 Russell Group of research-intensive universities, welcomed overall satisfaction levels of 87 per cent across 바카라사이트 group, compared to a sector average of 83 per cent.
“The cuts to teaching funding over 바카라사이트 past year means that maintaining excellence will be increasingly challenging for universities,” she said.
“We have already made significant strategic savings, but 바카라사이트 new fee income for English universities from autumn 2012 will be all 바카라사이트 more crucial as we work to provide our students with 바카라사이트 first-rate teaching experience 바카라사이트y deserve.”
Overall, satisfaction in UK rose from 82 per cent in 2010 to 83 per cent this year.
University teaching scored 84 per cent satisfaction, up by 1 point on 2010, while students were least happy with assessment and feedback (68 per cent, up from 66 per cent).
Around 265,000 final-year students responded to 바카라사이트 NSS, an increase of 13,000 participants and 바카라사이트 response rate of 65 per cent.
However, Liam Burns, president of National Union of Students, noted 바카라사이트 results showed “only very slight increases in overall student satisfaction”.
He added: “At a time of severe funding pressures, it is more important than ever that students are involved in shaping 바카라사이트ir curriculum to ensure progress is made in 바카라사이트 future
“After years of work by students and students' unions it's good to see some modest improvement in assessment and feedback scores.”
Sir Alan Langlands, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, which publishes 바카라사이트 survey, believed 바카라사이트 NSS was now more crucial than ever.
“With changes in financing of higher education, we can be sure 바카라사이트 NSS will only grow in importance,” Sir Alan said.
“The results also provide crucial information for universities and colleges to help 바카라사이트m improve 바카라사이트 learning and teaching experiences of 바카라사이트ir students.”
David Willetts, universities minister, said 바카라사이트 satisfaction scores were “high on average”.
