Student satisfaction survey
The THES student experience survey has just been published and as usual contains a wealth of information. The sample sizes are much smaller than the more famous NUS survey, but I feel the results are of interest. Overall, 14,000 students were sampled using 21 categories that had been chosen as most important by the students themselves. Some universities did not have a big enough sample to make quota and the list is smaller this year.
