Method note: in the student surveys, the satisfaction rate is the share of respondents who answered "partly agree", "agree" or "strongly agree" (or "agree" in two-column tables); area values are the mean of the statements in that area. This is the method used in the Faculty's own survey reports. Summary values not given in the documents were calculated from the response counts in the documents; small differences may arise from rounding in the originals.
