Professor Liz Bacon, Principal of Abertay University, said:

Our performance in this year’s NSS is a cause for celebration. For an institution of our size to be ranked in the top 25 UK universities for student satisfaction is a great achievement and I’d like to thank staff for their commitment to providing students with the best possible experience. I’m delighted that so many of our students have enjoyed their time at Abertay and I look forward to next week’s graduation ceremony where we will celebrate their achievements.
Compared with last year, Abertay improved its performance in seven of the 10 themes, ranking third in Scotland for ‘organisation and management’. The theme with the biggest rise was ‘learning resources’ with Abertay recording a 4.7% increase in satisfaction compared to 2021.
