Yet Another Survey

As if the National Student Survey, our own Viewfinder and Barometer surveys were not enough, the Tmes Higher has weighed in with yet another on student experience.

The difference with this one is that the attributes being assessed were identified by students themselves, and the weighting applied to these attributes was based on how important they were to students.

So where did we come? Staffs Uni is ranked 73rd out of the 101 insitutions included. Comparing our individual scores in each category, we are equal to or above the average in "good student union", "good support/welfare", "good persoanl relationships with teaching staff", "cheap shop/bar", "tuition in small groups", "good library and opening hours" and "fair workload".

We don't do so well on social life, nor on thefactors relating to quality of courses and teaching.

On the plus side, we scored better than Brunel, de Montfort, Coventry, John Moores, Wolverhampton, and even LSE!
