In the survey students are asked to rate their satisfaction with a range of aspects of their degree programme, including the teaching, assessment and feedback from lecturers, the academic support provided and the learning resources available, as well as their overall satisfaction.
Loughborough achieved a response rate of 76% to the survey, considerably higher than the national average of 63.1%.
Professor Morag Bell, Pro Vice Chancellor for Teaching at Loughborough University, said: “When we consider these results alongside our top place ranking for the best student experience in the UK, it is to clear to see why demand for places at Loughborough continues to rise.
“It is pleasing that our students continue to rate the quality of the education provided at Loughborough so highly.”
