Professor Nichola Callow, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education & Student Experience) said "Reaching the top 20 in the UK for Teaching Quality, out of 124 participating institutions, is an outstanding achievement. Over the past three years, our enhancement programme has introduced clear, evidence-based interventions supported by measurable actions. The consistent implementation of these interventions has delivered year-on-year gains across the National Student Survey, culminating in this excellent result. We are incredibly grateful to every student who took part in the NSS and to all our staff for their continued commitment to providing an outstanding student experience."
