Managed by the Office for Students (OfS) and conducted by Ipsos, the NSS provides students with a platform to share their honest feedback about their educational experience.

Results published on the 10th July 2024, show that Lincoln College University Centre has once again improved its engagement, with 91.3% of final-year students completing the survey – 1.7% higher than the previous year, exceeding the overall sector average of 72.3%.  

Positivity measures have increased and show that Lincoln College University Centre has achieved impressive scores, outperforming benchmarks in all seven core question categories.

A positivity score (the proportion of respondents who gave a positive answer) of 96.8% was received in the ‘teaching on my course’ category, exceeding both benchmark and sector averages beyond 10%. High positivity scores were also achieved for ‘academic support’ (94.4%) and ‘learning opportunities’ (91.1%), exceeding benchmark and sector averages beyond 8%.

Moreover, positivity scores above 85% were received for ‘assessment and feedback’ (85.1%), ‘learning resources’ (85.2%) and ‘student voice’ (85.7%). 

Communication of information relating to mental wellbeing support services achieved a positivity score of 85.7%, with freedom to express ideas, opinions and beliefs achieving 96.8%, being 7.2% and 11% above benchmark respectively.

Melanie Watson, Assistant Principal - Higher Education at Lincoln College University Centre, said: "I am delighted and extremely proud of the strong NSS feedback this year.
