Feedback from psychology students at the University of Lincoln has placed it at the top of a 'league table' of more than 100 in the country for student satisfaction with their campus courses.

The latest National Student Survey, published on Wednesday, August 12, places the University of Lincoln in the top 25 per cent nationally for student satisfaction in several subjects.

Psychology at Lincoln was placed top out of 111 institutions for overall satisfaction.

Biology was ranked second in the UK out of 78 universities.

And Lincoln's design courses, which include degree programmes such as creative advertising, graphic design and fashion, were ranked third out of 72 higher education institutions.

More than 2,000 final year Lincoln undergraduates, or 73 per cent, took part in the NSS 2015, rating student satisfaction over 22 questions.

They covered teaching, assessment and feedback, academic support, organisation and management, learning resources, personal development and overall satisfaction.

And Lincoln rated strongly overall for personal development, being placed 28th out of 124 institutions – its highest position in this category since the survey was introduced.

Professor Scott Davidson is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for teaching quality and student experience) at the university.

He said: "This is a fantastic result for several of our subjects. Almost three-quarters of our final year undergraduates completed the survey.

"And it is clear that they valued the support given around personal development and learning resources and the quality of teaching and assessment in many of our disciplines."

The National Student Survey (NSS) has been conducted by Ipsos MORI annually since 2005.

It asks final year undergraduates to provide honest feedback on what it has been like to study their course at their institution.

It runs across all publicly funded Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and contributes to university national league tables such as in the Guardian and Times newspapers.
