Student experience
Overall satisfaction with the learning experience at Middlesex held at 83% in this year’s National Student Survey – mapping the national picture, which saw no overall increase in student satisfaction.
It was pleasing to see that many of the individual questions interrogating the teaching experience at Middlesex had shown some improvement, and that our outcomes in the assessment and feedback theme of the survey showed at 76%, three per cent ahead of the sector average.
Satisfaction with Learning Resources also continued to grow, with students voting positively for the library and learning resources also being, three points ahead of sector average. A pleasing result in a fees climate that sees students continually looking for value from their university experience.
At the same time, our ongoing work in partnership with Middlesex Students’ Union (MDXSU) saw the Union demonstrate a well-deserved vote of confidence from the student body – with 67% of students indicating satisfaction with their Union, a rise of 3% on last year.
Our commitment to the ongoing improvement of all these results was underlined by the introduction of a whole university approach to module evaluation this year – with this initiative being further developed to boost response rates to support greater understanding of the learning experience in the coming year.
We also continued our emphasis on inclusion and engagement for our international cohort, beginning the year with our British Tea Party welcome for students during orientation. The themes of diversity and inclusion underpinned our discussions on student success in the Strategic Refresh and provided a backdrop for additional measures developed to prepare the institution for the loss of income resulting from changes to DSA funding from 2016/17 onwards.
These commitments to the curricular and extra-curricular experience of the student cohort were recognized in this year’s still more improved Student-Led Teaching Awards, run by MDXSU, which saw nearly 500 academics and academic support staff nominated by students for the inspiration and guidance they had provided throughout the year.
