National Student Survey

The National Student Survey (NSS) was conducted early this year. The students were asked various questions about their student experience, including teaching, learning resources, assessment and feedback and their overall satisfaction.

Respondents to the NSS are asked to rate the extent to which they agree with a number of statements on a scale of 1 – 5, where 5 denotes definite agreement. The percentage satisfaction is the percentage of students who either definitely agree or mostly agree (4 or 5).

The ‘percentage agree’ score for Question 27 ‘overall satisfaction’ is the measure commonly used in reporting on the NSS.

LSME achieved an overall satisfaction of 91% in the 2017 NSS (our benchmarked overall satisfaction was 88%) with subject specific satisfaction ranging from 73-100%. The overall satisfaction of our students as well as satisfaction within different categories of questions is generally higher than the national average.

A more detailed overall result in comparison to the national average for England is as follows:

The results of the NSS survey is an accurate representation of the voice of our students and gives us the opportunity to identify our strengths as well as our weaknesses and draw up action plans to address the issues raised by our students. LSME is committed to improving the quality of its provision using feedback from its learners.
