The 2019 National Student Survey (NSS) results for the University of Nottingham are now available in the NSS Department Explorer.

The strongest performance at an institutional level continues to be teaching on the course (84%), learning opportunities (82%) and learning resources (88%). In addition, the University saw improved results in academic support, organisation and management, student voice and the Students’ Union.

Eight departments achieved an overall satisfaction rating of 90% or higher: Veterinary Medicine and Science (97%), Theology & Religious Studies (94%), Pharmacy (94%), Geography (93%), Mathematical Sciences (92%), Chemical & Environmental Engineering (92%), Classics & Archaeology (91%) Philosophy (91%).

Id also like to point out that the BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Science course (within the Division of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences in the School of Health Sciences) recorded an overall NSS score of 92%, rising from 83% last year. Should this not also be included on the lists for subjects scoring over 90% and in the strongest improvements since 2018?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This article focuses on departments, as opposed to individual courses, which is why the BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Science course was not included. I do appreciate that this wasn’t made explicitly clear in the article, so have made a few edits.

Congratulations to all involved for a fantastic result on the Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Science course.

Thanks,
Ryan
