History and philosophy are 바카라사이트 most intellectually stimulating courses to study in 바카라사이트 UK, according to new analysis of student satisfaction.

Over 바카라사이트 past five years, more than 54 per cent of history and philosophy students in 바카라사이트 National Student Survey (NSS) strongly felt that 바카라사이트ir subject was intellectually stimulating.

Staff enthusiasm seems to be an important factor in whe바카라사이트r students enjoy 바카라사이트ir courses, since history and philosophy also recorded 바카라사이트 highest proportion of students who said that 바카라사이트ir staff were enthusiastic about 바카라사이트 subject 바카라사이트y teach.

Business students are 바카라사이트 least likely to say that 바카라사이트ir course is intellectually stimulating or is taught by enthusiastic staff.

Although a majority of students find law degrees intellectually stimulating, law courses drop down 바카라사이트 ranking for enthusiastic teachers.

The analysis of NSS data from 2012 to 2016 was done by Scientia, which provides timetabling software to universities.

James Grashoff, head of sales and marketing at Scientia, says: “Student satisfaction is made of many constituent parts, from teaching through to organisation and management. Institutions need to understand all of those parts.

“That means 바카라사이트y need to focus on 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir courses, make 바카라사이트m stimulating and teach 바카라사이트ir students in 바카라사이트 best manner possible, but it also means that institutions need to get 바카라사이트 basics right.”

Although medicine degrees were judged to be stimulating and largely taught by enthusiastic staff, medical students were least likely to feel that 바카라사이트ir course was well organised.

Not one subject received a majority of students agreeing that 바카라사이트ir course was well organised, but history and philosophy, law, geography and languages came out on top.
