Student Survey Data |
Each year students are asked to respond to the student barometer (average 15% response rate) and departments can access this data by demographics, including sex, ethnicity and disability. Overall student satisfaction by specialism/department against Uni average. Dept Student satisfaction by demographic (sex/ethnicity/disability) against Uni average. NB: Use the slider to select the year. If you do not have enough respondents in the year try a two/three year rolling average. Other Student Surveys Whilst the main staff survey does not include non contracted students, some departments have elected to survey their student cohorts alongside staff in a separate process. Since 2018 these surveys have been administered by the Divisional Athena Swan Facilitator. To find out if you have any student survey data in your department please contact your Athena SWAN lead, or the divisional facilitator. Contact your Divisional facilitator. |
