The Royal Docks School of Business and Law (RDSBL) at the University of East London (UEL) is proud to have achieved incredible results in the latest National Students’ Survey (NSS), published in July 2025. These results further cement RDSBL’s position as a well-respected and regarded school within the institution, among the audience that matters most – our students.
RDSBL showed improvements in positivity scores for seven out of eight metrics measured year on year between 2024 and 2025, with the largest improvements to positivity scores in the ‘Students’ Union’ and ‘Teaching on my Course’ categories.
Fatima Annan-Diab, Executive Dean and Professor of International Business & Corporate Sustainability, Royal Docks School of Business and Law at UEL, said:
I am delighted to see this year’s NSS 2025 results which are exceptional across the board. This is even more impressive taking into consideration the high marks achieved last year, which have again been surpassed. These results directly reflect our staff’s hard work, care, and commitment to our students, and I appreciate the excellent work of everyone in our school and across the university.”
