The results of the National Student Survey 2014 (NSS) have now been released, revealing good news for Kent and the School of European Culture and Languages (SECL) in particular.
The NSS is an independent UK-wide survey of all 158 higher education institutions, providing an opportunity for final-year students to independently rate their experience at university.
Kent has been confirmed as being among the top 10 multi-faculty universities for overall satisfaction, positioning it within a select band of institutions that have achieved an overall satisfaction rate of 91%, above the national average (and equal with, for example, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge).
Seven subjects from SECL scored within the UK’s top 10 for overall student satisfaction. These are:
- Comparative Literature – 1st, with 98% satisfaction
- Iberian Studies (Hispanic Studies) – 1st, with 98% satisfaction
- Philosophy – 4th, with 98% satisfaction
- Religious Studies – 5th, with 96% satisfaction
- French – 8th, with 95% satisfaction
- Linguistics – 9th, with 93% satisfaction
- Archaeology – 10th, with 93% satisfaction
Congratulations to our academic and support staff for providing excellent teaching and support to achieve this result, and we would like to thank all of our students who participated in the survey.
