National Student Survey Details

The National Student Survey is one of the biggest surveys of its kind that gathers students’ opinions on various parameters including quality of courses and based on the student’s feedback provides feedback to colleges and universities so that these institutions can work to enhance the student experience and support public accountability.

Juan Carlos Garcia Belza, president of Aston Students' Union, said, "We are pleased to see a strong positivity score and we work really hard to ensure students voices shape the key decisions that affect students' lives.”

Professor Aleks Subic, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Aston University said,“I am pleased that Aston University has achieved a total positivity score of over 80% this year. This is an improvement on last year, with the trajectory moving towards our target of 85% and above in our 2030 strategy. It reflects our commitment to providing our students with an excellent student experience and some of the best graduate outcomes in the country – our students are in the top 20 for median salary at both three and five years after graduation and we are second in the UK for social mobility.”

“This result is also due to the dedication and commitment of all our staff and would not have been possible without our close collaboration with the Aston Students’ Union, whose input is fundamental in continuously improving our student experience. The insights gained through the NSS survey will help to inform our work to ensure that all our students continue to receive the highest quality education experience at Aston University and that they are ready for work and life when they graduate,” added Aleks Subic.
