Students at Kent Law School are amongst the most satisfied law students in the UK according to latest results issued by the National Student Survey (NSS).
This year’s figures, released today, reveal that 91% of final year undergraduate students said they were satisfied overall with their course at Kent Law School. The School scored particularly well in respect of its teaching quality with more than 90% of students agreeing that staff are good at explaining things and are enthusiastic about what they are teaching. In a further endorsement of Kent’s distinctive ‘critical’ approach to teaching law, 92% of students agreed that their course is intellectually stimulating.
The NSS is a high-profile, independent annual survey of nearly half a million students across the UK. Students are asked to provide honest feedback on their learning experience by answering 23 questions. The questions focus on six key aspects of the course: teaching; assessment and feedback; academic support; organisation and management; learning resources; and personal development.
Kent Law School is one of the leading law schools in the UK; ranked 13th in the Times Good University Guide 2016, 15th in The Guardian University Guide 2017 and 19th in the Complete University Guide 2017. The School is also ranked among the top 150 institutions in the world for Law in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2016 (and is ranked 19th out of a total of 30 UK law schools that made the global list of top 200 institutions.)
Our graduates have excellent employment prospects and the School is ranked 5th nationally for the percentage of graduates (87%) who progress into graduate-level jobs or further study, within six months of graduation (The Guardian University Guide 2017).
The University of Kent as an institution also received excellent feedback from its students in this year’s NSS, achieving the fourth highest score for overall satisfaction. Kent’s high level of overall satisfaction also resulted in it being ranked joint first in London and the South East, alongside the universities of Oxford and Surrey.
The full NSS results are made available to prospective students and their advisors through the Unistats website.
