Published: 12 August 2015

Results of this year’s National Student Survey (NSS) published today (Wednesday 12th August) show good results in satisfaction levels for Chemistry degree programmes at the University of Southampton.

The NSS shows that satisfaction amongst Southampton’s students with the overall quality of their undergraduate courses rose from 86 per cent last year to 88 per cent this year. This places the University tenth out of the UK’s 24 Russell Group universities for overall satisfaction, up four places from the previous year.

The university increased its satisfaction levels in 17 of the 23 core questions asked in the survey, which look at all areas of the student experience, from Academic Support to the Students’ Union.
