Student Satisfaction With Uni Education Remains High
Four out of five university students are satisfied with their education, according to a national survey released today.
The 2017 Student Experience Survey of more than 206,000 students shows that the overwhelming majority of undergraduates (79 per cent) were satisfied with their higher educational experience.
Around the same number of postgraduate students (76 per cent) were positive about their educational experience.
Universities Australia Chief Executive Designate Catriona welcomed the results, saying there was good reason for students to be happy with the quality of education they received.
“The strong results are a tribute to our world-class higher education system and the incredibly high standards it maintains,” Ms said.
“The survey results also show that the vast majority of students are happy with the skills development, teaching quality and learning resources in their university degrees," she said.
This year’s results confirm a long-standing trend, with student satisfaction remaining consistently high at around 80 per cent since the survey was first conducted in 2011.
“Yet again this major survey confirms that year in year out, when it comes to education, our universities deliver,” Ms said.
