Top 10 unis for Student Satisfaction 2024

Are you interested in who tops the table for student satisfaction? Check out the Top 10 Unis in the UK for student satisfaction in 2024.

What does Student Satisfaction mean?

Student satisfaction is a measure of a student’s opinion of the quality of teaching at a university. It’s not a direct measure of quality and will be influenced by an individual’s conscious and unconscious bias.

How is it calculated? 

Student satisfaction is calculated from the answers to the National Student Survey (NSS). The NSS asks undergraduate students in their final year about the quality of teaching and other aspects of their experience at their university.  

A university that has a reputation for excellent teaching could get a lower score for student satisfaction as the two don’t necessarily go hand in hand.

The University of St Andrews retains its crown for happy students in 2024. Plymouth Marjon and London Metropolitan are also non-movers in this table. Aberystwyth climbs one place to take second, West London leaps an impressive six to take third and Bolton moves up one to ninth spot.
