2018 Satisfaction Surveys
The 2018 documents include the Phase 6 student satisfaction survey and the Faculty results of the university-wide student, academic staff and administrative staff surveys run by the Rectorate.
The 2018 documents for Phases 1-5 contain the same results as the 2017 documents, and the faculty member and research assistant documents contain the same results as those of 2016. This page therefore summarises only the results specific to 2018 (Phase 6 and the Rectorate surveys); all documents can be downloaded below.

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.
