The С����Ƶ has been ranked 9th in England for learning resources according to the annual National Student Survey (NSS) published today (9 July).

Based on the feedback of this year's final year full-time undergraduates, the results published by the Office for Students (OfS) revealed that among English mainstream universities С����Ƶ is ranked: 

• 9th for learning resources 
• 24th for promoting mental health support 
• 25th for academic support 

Also, in the South East С����Ƶ is ranked 2nd in student voice and learning resources, which reflects the University’s investment in its students.

NSS gives students the chance to voice their thoughts and opinions on their time at university. 

The NSS results build upon the University’s excellence over recent years in providing the best for students. This includes:

• Gold rating in the national Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
• Top 3 modern UK university for research power reflecting that С����Ƶ students are taught by expert lecturers and groundbreaking researchers.
• £5.8 million in OfS funding to transform the Faculty of Technology facilities including new laboratories, simulated learning environments, a satellite room for space applications and advanced renewable energy equipment to prepare the next generation of engineers and technicians.
• £5.6 million upgrade for the University’s Dental Academy which features modern ‘phantom head’ units, new digital dentistry equipment and dental training simulators.
• The University’s new medical degree, in partnership with King’s College London as a branch campus for medical students to train locally, with the aim to eventually open its own medical school.

Professor Graham Galbraith CBE, Vice-Chancellor of the С����Ƶ, said: “I am very pleased to see that our students rate us so highly compared to other universities across the country. We take student feedback very seriously as it helps us further enhance our courses, shape investment into our facilities and improve the wider student experience.

“The NSS also provides valuable information for prospective students to help them make the right decisions about where and what to study as they take their first steps into higher education.

“Today’s rankings and other recent performances reflect our fundamental mission to provide the very best for our students. They also demonstrate our continued progress towards our long-term ambition to be a top-25 UK University by 2035, internationally recognised for excellence through our connection with our students, communities and society.”

Blessing Okafor, Education Officer at the С����Ƶ Students’ Union (UPSU), added: “It’s really encouraging to see that so many students feel heard when it comes to our academic experience. It’s great to know that the work UPSU are doing - whether that’s course reps, campaigns, or working behind the scenes - is making a real difference. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and I’m excited about what we can keep building together.”
