These results are a strong showing for these degree subjects at Sheffield. Professor George Panoutsos, Head of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering said: “I am extremely pleased with the positive feedback from our students. These results highlight the commitment of our teaching and support staff to provide exceptional education and demonstrate that our students feel valued and heard. Ensuring that our students receive a top education and have a great experience during their studies is important to us, these results are a testament to that.”
For the second year in a row, The University of Sheffield has been placed number one in the Russell Group, based on aggregate responses in the annual survey, in which students give feedback on their university experience.
Sheffield’s Students’ Union has been rated the best SU among UK universities, after also being placed top in the Russell Group in last year’s NSS.
Students gave Sheffield the highest score in the Russell Group for learning opportunities, assessment and feedback, and student voice, whilst the University has been ranked in the top four for teaching, academic support, organisation and management, and learning resources.
The NSS results follow Sheffield being voted University of the Year by students, as well as Best Students’ Union and Best Student Life in this year’s Whatuni Student Choice Awards.
Professor Mary Vincent, Vice-President for Education at the University of Sheffield, said: “We are so pleased that our students have rated their experience at Sheffield so highly again this year. The NSS is one of the many ways that we seek feedback from our students and listen to their views on their life at the University. Whilst we are delighted with these results, we are determined to provide the very best education and will keep working hard, together with our Students’ Union, to ensure studying at Sheffield remains a rewarding experience.”
