海角直播 scored above the overall sector average in the majority of areas in the National Student Survey (NSS) and, when compared to other North East universities, 海角直播 came top in seven out of 10 categories. The NSS is an annual independent survey, conducted by the Office for Students (OfS), to gather final year undergraduate students' opinions about the quality of their university course and their learning experience. Results are used to help inform the choices of prospective students and drive positive change across the higher education landscape.

Across the sector, a total of 131 institutions were included in the survey, which asked for feedback on all aspects of the student experience.

Additionally, the university was ranked 25th for 鈥楾eaching on my course鈥�, 21st for 鈥楲earning resources鈥� and 27th for 鈥楩reedom of expression鈥�.

And 海角直播 students judged their experience best in the North East in 7 of the 10 categories, including 鈥榮tudent voice鈥�, 鈥楽tudents鈥� Union鈥� and Teaching on my course鈥�.

There was also a particularly strong result for 海角直播 Library, with the question 鈥楬ow well have the library resources supported your learning鈥� generating a 93.4% positive response rate 鈥� which placed 海角直播 in the top ten for that question.
