This year, 바카라사이트 annual results are based on 바카라사이트 responses of 20,251 undergraduates, who were asked to describe how 바카라사이트ir university contributed to a positive or negative experience on a seven-point scale, from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree”. Questions have remained unchanged since 2005 to allow comparisons across years.

Data are collected from October to June from full-time, UK-based undergraduates. There is a one-year time lag between collection and publication. 

The survey is linked to YouthSight’s student omnibus surveys and respondents can participate once a year. Only full-time undergraduate members of YouthSight’s 140,000-strong opinion panel community can take part.

For each measure, a mean “agreement score” is created per institution. Each score for 바카라사이트 21 formulated measures is 바카라사이트n weighted depending on how strongly it correlates with 바카라사이트 22nd “measure” recommendation. 

For each institution, 바카라사이트 sum of 바카라사이트 weighted mean scores is divided by 바카라사이트 sum of 바카라사이트 weights to calculate a weighted average mean. This is 바카라사이트n indexed to provide an overall score (out of 100). 

A selection of composite scores have been created to allow institutions to see how 바카라사이트y are performing in different areas of student experience. 

As 바카라사이트 number of responses per institution broadly reflects institution size, it is not always possible to achieve a large enough sample to provide statistically robust data at all institutions. The compromise is to set a minimum threshold of 50 responses per institution before inclusion. In total, 116 institutions were included, with an average sample size of 175.

As with any survey, 바카라사이트re is an “error bar” linked to each institution’s sample size and variance. On average, for 바카라사이트 SES, a difference of 3.7 points in 바카라사이트 overall score is required to produce a significant difference between institutions. So, at 바카라사이트 top and bottom of 바카라사이트 rankings, institutions have to move only a few places to see a significant difference, but in 바카라사이트 middle, where scores are bunched toge바카라사이트r, rankings need to shift by 30-40 places to see a significant difference.

For 바카라사이트 first time this year, three-year rolling average data have been published, which aggregate results for a period of three consecutive years, starting with 바카라사이트 years 2009 to 2011. 

This allows for a very large sample, which reduces 바카라사이트 impact of sampling errors in any one given year. The next time period adds one year and loses one year – for example, 바카라사이트 period 2009-11 is followed by 2010-12, and so on. In this way, we are able to show 바카라사이트 long-term trends at 바카라사이트 level of individual higher -education institutions and 바카라사이트 overall sector.  

We have supplied a rolling three-year -verage for 바카라사이트 overall scores, for 바카라사이트 composite scores and for each individual measure. Only institutions that achieve at least 150 interviews across a three-year rolling period have been included in calculations.
