Professor Matt Carré, Faculty Director of Education for Engineering, said: “These are truly outstanding results for the Faculty and for the University overall. This is clearly a reflection of the care, commitment and dedication of so many engineering and computer science staff, working with students, to deliver an excellent educational experience.”
Professor Conchúr Ó Brádaigh, Vice-President & Head of Engineering, said: “We're thrilled with the Faculty of Engineering's impressive results! We believe in fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and student feedback plays a vital role. By incorporating their insights, we'll ensure our students have the best possible learning environment to prepare them for successful engineering careers.”
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.”
