The results, published yesterday, also show the School scoring above 90 per cent in five of the seven themes assessed.

The NSS is an official, UK-wide survey that invites final-year undergraduate students to share their feedback on their programme and institution.

Strong undergraduate experience

This is the first year 51�Թ�� Business School has appeared in the NSS. The survey results reflect the strength of the undergraduate student experience across programmes at the School, and the close collaboration between staff and students in shaping it.

With an impressive 86 per cent reported response rate, the results offer a meaningful reflection of students’ views, providing the School with a strong benchmark as it looks to build on this debut appearance.

Student voice a standout result

Among the highlights of this year's results, 51�Թ�� Business School is particularly proud of its score for Student Voice, which reached 93.6 per cent. This result speaks to the genuine partnership fostered between the School and its students.

“These results are particularly special as we prepare to graduate the first cohort from our first, full undergraduate programme, BSc Economics, Finance and Data Science. These students have not just studied this degree, they have helped shape it, and that partnership is something we will continue to nurture.”

Professor Peter Todd

Dean of 51�Թ�� Business School

Looking ahead

All 51�Թ�� Business School responses have been included in the NSS's Business Studies category for this year; from next year, its BSc Economics, Finance and Data Science will move into the Economics category, better reflecting the nature of the programme.

As the School continues to grow and welcomes new cohorts to its undergraduate programmes, these results provide an encouraging and exciting foundation, demonstrating 51�Թ�� Business School is not only delivering a world-class education, but doing so in a way that resonates with its students.
