National Student Survey 2020
We’re delighted to have some of the happiest archaeology students in the UK.
The Department of Archaeology has received 96% for 'Overall Satisfaction' in the 2020 National Student Survey (NSS).
The NSS is a nationwide survey of final-year students in higher and further education that encourages them to give honest feedback about a variety of aspects of their university experience, including their department and course. This helps prospective students to make informed choices and also influences real change in future students’ experiences, from institution-level to course-level.
The Department also achieved over 90% satisfaction in six of the assessed areas:
- Teaching on my course (94%)
- Learning opportunities (94%)
- Assessment and feedback (91%)
- Academic support (91%)
- Learning Resources (93%)
- Overall satisfaction (96%)
With a score of 85.39% for 'Overall Satisfaction', the University of York sits above the national average of 82.65%. Of the Russell Group universities included in the survey, the results position York as first for 'Academic Support' and 'Learning Opportunities', and second for 'Teaching on my Course'.
