Reading offers an excellent student experience
Thursday, 17 February 2011
The University of Reading now offers an even better student experience according to the Times Higher Education's latest Student Experience. Reading rose to 36th out of 113th in this year's table, an improvement of five places from the previous year.
The annual survey gathers the views of more than 13,000 undergraduates who are asked to rate 21 aspects of university life that matter most to them.
The University scored strongly across all the criteria with particularly high marks given to its standard of teaching and learning - students scored staff and their lecturers as very ‘high quality'. They also gave very high marks for their course structure and the campus environment.
Our students also indicated that they feel well supported during their time at Reading and would recommend their University to a friend.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gordon Marshall commented: "What these excellent results demonstrate is that Reading offers the complete student package. As well as receiving a high-standard education, students receive excellent support, enjoy a wonderful parkland campus and have the opportunity to lead and active and varied social life. However, we are just as interested to find out about the areas in which we can still improve and so will be using the results of this survey to inform and improve the quality of the Reading experience."
