Nearly Nine out of ten students (88%) said they were satisfied overall with the quality of their degree course according to the latest National Student Survey (NSS) 2009, making it the top ranked of any modern university and the 15th among all UK universities. The results show a one per cent increase over last year's result and a rise of 8% since 2005.
This comes hot on the heels of the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) report that showed Chichester was the top University on the South Coast for graduate employment. The Hesa 2009 study revealed that 94.2% of graduates from the University of Chichester are in jobs or further study six months after they graduated.
Dr Robin Baker, the Vice-Chancellor at University of Chichester said; "I am delighted that our students continue to rate their experience here so highly. I am particularly pleased to see that we have improved on our results from last year. A positive experience of the learning and teaching a higher education institution offers is fundamental to its mission. However we must not rest on our laurels and although our students are very satisfied with their courses, we must continue to ensure that the experience they have at Chichester continues to be outstanding. High-quality teaching is essential for a strong university sector, and it has never been more so than in the economic current climate."
A total of 155 higher education institutions across the UK and 117 further education colleges in England took park in the NSS Survey.
