UEL scores second highest ever satisfaction rating in National Student Survey

We are encouraged that the University of East London has scored its second highest ever satisfaction rating in this year's National Student Survey.

We are delighted to see that our score has improved significantly in terms of work placements and this is an area in which we pride ourselves and work hard, appreciating that work experience is one of the most valuable career assets a higher education can provide.

It is clear that there are real areas of excellence, however, we recognise that there is also room for improvement. Holly Duglan, Head of Strategic Planning, and Gareth Smith, Director of Student Life, will be meeting with each school to review the results in greater detail throughout the month of October.
