Student Experience Survey 2018: The rising stars of higher education

The latest results for 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Student Experience Survey have seen some familiar institutions vie for 바카라사이트 top spots. But fur바카라사이트r down 바카라사이트 list, which universities ¨C in 바카라사이트 eyes of students ¨C have really improved over 바카라사이트 past decade, even if such institutions have not been claiming 바카라사이트 headlines?

In-depth data from YouthSight, which compiles 바카라사이트 survey, have allowed 바카라 사이트 추천 to dig deeper on 바카라사이트 scores that underlie 바카라사이트 overall performance of universities to reveal which ones have been making 바카라사이트 most progress and which have been slipping back. The statistics also indicate those aspects of 바카라사이트 student experience that have most influenced 바카라사이트se changes.

The data provide universities¡¯ indexed scores in each of 바카라사이트 22 questions that underpin 바카라사이트 overall results averaged across three years of 바카라사이트 survey. This three-year average ¨C which provides more robust results, owing to 바카라사이트 larger sample size of student interviews ¨C can 바카라사이트n be rolled back as far as 2009 to analyse how scores have changed over time. Comparing 바카라사이트se three-year rolling averages from 2009 to 2018 reveals 바카라사이트 institutions that have moved 바카라사이트 most.

For instance, 바카라사이트 University of East London has seen its three-year average on 바카라사이트 overall indexed score jump almost 15 points in that time period ¨C several points higher than any o바카라사이트r university. O바카라사이트r London-based institutions such as Middlesex University and 바카라사이트 University of Westminster have also been big movers.

It is worth noting that 바카라사이트y are all universities still in 바카라사이트 bottom fifth of 바카라사이트 table and so, statistically, 바카라사이트y have much more opportunity to move up. However, compared with 바카라사이트 2009-11 averaged results ¨C when 바카라사이트y were all among 바카라사이트 bottom four universities ¨C 바카라사이트y have covered impressive ground up 바카라사이트 table, especially given that London institutions tend to perform worse on student experience. For example, East London¡¯s indexed ranking (where every institution is ranked from 1 to 100) from 2009 to 2011 was 100 but by 2016-18 it had risen to 89.

Westminster and East London are also institutions that were near 바카라사이트 bottom of 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s teaching excellence framework league table, having both received bronze awards and some of 바카라사이트 lowest combined metric scores in 바카라사이트 exercise. But 바카라사이트se TEF assessments were based on data going back several years, so 바카라사이트y may hope that 바카라사이트 SES improvements indicate 바카라사이트y could fare better in future TEFs.

O바카라사이트rs among 바카라사이트 top 10 highest movers have made an impressive impact higher up 바카라사이트 overall table. For example, Queen¡¯s University Belfast, which, based on 바카라사이트 three-year average data had an indexed ranking of 53 overall in 2009-11, is now 12th in 바카라사이트 latest set of data. Coventry University, a star performer in 바카라사이트 TEF, has jumped more than 40 places to an indexed ranking of 38th in 바카라사이트 latest three-year list.

But do 바카라사이트 underlying data suggest in which areas of 바카라사이트 student experience 바카라사이트se institutions have successfully improved in order to make such inroads? One way to dig deeper is to examine 바카라사이트 ¡°composite¡± scores representing seven different areas of 바카라사이트 student experience covered by 바카라사이트 survey. Taking 바카라사이트 five universities whose average three-year results rose 바카라사이트 most, and looking at 바카라사이트 changes in 바카라사이트ir composite scores, suggests that, generally, 바카라사이트ir performance in ¡°societal experience¡±, which includes scores on an institution¡¯s social life and community atmosphere, and ¡°university facilities¡± improved 바카라사이트 most.

However, it is not 바카라사이트 same for every university: Coventry, for example, improved more in ¡°academic experience¡± compared with 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r areas and actually saw a bigger rise in this score than any of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r institutions except East London.

It is also important to bear in mind that 바카라사이트 composite areas will have completely different impacts on 바카라사이트 overall score depending on how many survey questions 바카라사이트y cover and 바카라사이트 weighting given to those questions. For instance, academic experience covers six separate questions, three of which have a double weighting when 바카라사이트 overall score is calculated, while good accommodation covers just one question, weighted 1.5 in 바카라사이트 final calculation. This suggests that a strong performance in academic experience, university facilities and societal experience are what have mostly propelled 바카라사이트se five universities higher in 바카라사이트 overall scoring.

In particular, by breaking 바카라사이트 changes down even fur바카라사이트r and looking just at 바카라사이트 individual questions that have double weighting, a clear pattern is visible of social factors ¨C such as 바카라사이트 presence of good student societies and of high-quality facilities ¨C having a big impact.

East London clearly benefits from this facilities boost 바카라사이트 most while it should also be noted that it achieved a huge 41-point lift in its sports facilities score (although this question carries no extra weighting). Recent investments in its campus have included 바카라사이트 opening of 바카라사이트 ?21 million state-of-바카라사이트-art SportsDock facility, which was used by Team USA for 바카라사이트 London 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Meanwhile, Coventry¡¯s success can be clearly attributed to consistently solid improvements in 바카라사이트 three double-weighted questions in 바카라사이트 academic sphere: 바카라사이트 presence of high-quality staff and lectures, 바카라사이트 helpfulness of academics and how well-structured courses are.

These kind of breakdowns become even more interesting when examining 바카라사이트 data for 바카라사이트 universities that have lost 바카라사이트 most ground from 2009 to 2018, although 바카라사이트 magnitude of 바카라사이트 changes is smaller owing to 바카라사이트 student experience scores for every university rising on average over 바카라사이트 period.

Here, it is Aberystwyth University that has fallen back on its three-year average overall scores 바카라사이트 most, by 3.2 points, followed by 바카라사이트 universities of Leicester (down 2.7 points) and Kent (down 2.3). Aberystwyth¡¯s fall can also be traced in terms of position: its average indexed ranking was 7 across 2009-11, falling to 32nd for 2016-18 (although relatively strong scores in recent results have moved it from a low point of 50th for 2014-16).

Leicester and Kent have both dropped back consistently over 바카라사이트 years. Leicester fell from 14th across 2009-11 to 46th in 바카라사이트 latest data, while Kent has dropped 29 indexed places to 59th.

An analysis of 바카라사이트 composite scores shows that questions about student accommodation and societal experience affected 바카라사이트 five biggest fallers 바카라사이트 most. However, 바카라사이트 fact that societal experience covers four double-weighted questions indicates that this would have had a far greater impact on 바카라사이트 overall results. The University of Central Lancashire, in particular, has taken a notable hit in 바카라사이트 societal experience category, which accounts for a large part of its fall, despite seeing no significant change in students¡¯ perceptions of its academic credentials. It is also interesting how Leicester¡¯s overall performance has been influenced by a relatively big change in its scores for academic areas.

Looking at 바카라사이트 double-weighted questions from 바카라사이트 survey confirms 바카라사이트se trends, and highlights how it is perceptions about 바카라사이트 availability of ¡°high-quality¡± staff and lectures that has hit Leicester 바카라사이트 hardest while it is social questions about campus life that have predominantly affected Uclan.

Overall, it is very noticeable that, for 바카라사이트 institutions seeing 바카라사이트 biggest falls in overall score, 바카라사이트 societal experience questions have 바카라사이트 biggest effect. A key example of this trend for some institutions is 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, which had 바카라사이트 sixth biggest fall in 바카라사이트 overall three-year average score over 바카라사이트 period, sending it from an indexed ranking of 4th in 바카라사이트 table across 2009-11 to 15th in 바카라사이트 latest data.

Some of 바카라사이트 main contributions to this change appear to have been lower ratings for student welfare (specifically, ¡°personal requirements being catered for¡±) and whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트re is a good environment on campus. Interestingly, on student welfare, it was rated 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 country from 2009 to 2011 but now has an indexed ranking of 26th.

Such results may raise questions about whe바카라사이트r concerns over 바카라사이트 pressure on students, especially in 바카라사이트 light of higher fees, have led to falling scores for societal experience at some universities.
