University of Hull in top 20 for student satisfaction

A good local university is one of the main factors that brings new people to a town or city. That can be students from across the UK and the world drawn to a place because of the high quality education on offer.

It can also be down to the quality of research that leads to high quality jobs, or because of the many other good jobs that universities create just by existing.

By becoming a major employer, a university also becomes a major contributor to economic growth in their home town or city – another important consideration for investors.

All of that means that if a university is doing well, investors can take that as a positive sign about the location as a whole.

High levels of student satisfaction at the University of Hull

The University of Hull is one of the oldest in England and has been known as a benchmark of quality for generations. The National Student Survey – which gets the views of half a million students across the UK – rated the student experience and student outcomes at the University of Hull as “typically outstanding”.

The University is ahead of the majority of the sector in 22 out of 27 areas surveyed, and follows the 2023 survey which put Hull in the UK top 20 for student satisfaction – ahead of all the Russell Group universities.

Professor Kevin Kerrigan, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Hull, said: “The NSS gives our students the opportunity to let us know about the quality of their student experience here in Hull. We pride ourselves on listening to what they tell us – and by acting on this – we can make sure we provide a student experience that is truly exceptional.

Gold standard of teaching

The University also excels in other areas beyond just providing an exceptional student experience. Hull has also achieved a Gold ranking in the Teaching Excellence Framework which makes it an even more appealing place for students.

Professor Dave Petley said: “Excellent, research-led teaching, outstanding student experience, and dynamic partnerships are the signature of progressive universities that are delivering the best possible outcomes for their students. I am delighted that we have been recognised as ranking with the best.”

By providing excellent teaching, an outstanding student environment and producing high quality graduates, the University of Hull is an asset to the city and a top reason why investors should consider putting their money into Hull.
