Results from this year’s National Student Survey (NSS) were released last week and revealed some extremely positive results for both Sunderland Students’ Union and the University.
The NSS is the biggest survey of final-year students’ views in the UK. The main questionnaire provides widely published data that informs university league tables.
As part of the survey, we are delighted that Sunderland Students’ Union was highlighted for representing the academic interests of the University community, coming in at 81.55% positivity - 8.64% above the sector average and a 6.61% increase from 2023. It is also the highest score received by a students’ union in the North East.
Dola Dada, President: Education at Sunderland Students’ Union, said: “The results of this year’s NSS are very pleasing and encouraging. We have made excellent progress as an organisation in many areas over the past 12 months, and we’re excited about the areas where there is room for us to develop further.
“We look forward to continuing to make the student experience the best it can be, working to achieve this aim alongside the University and its departments.
“At the Students’ Union, we are passionate about helping to positively and meaningfully shape students’ lives for the future, empowering them to make their time at the University of Sunderland as successful as possible, and ensuring that their feedback is heard, valued and addressed.”
