Coordinated by Advance HE, the national survey invites students to have their say on taught postgraduate university programmes. Students are asked about areas including teaching, assessment and support.
Overall, UHI postgraduate students rated their study experience as the best in Scotland in a UK-wide survey for the third year in a row. It was also ranked 15th in the UK, out of 107 participating institutions.
Commenting on the results, Dr Iain Morrison, Dean of Student Experience, said: “We are thrilled that, for the third consecutive year, our university has been ranked first in Scotland for postgraduate taught student satisfaction. This outstanding achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff and students, who together create an enriching and supportive academic environment.
“Our commitment to delivering a high-quality educational experience and personalised support has clearly resonated with our postgraduate community. We are incredibly proud of this recognition and will continue to strive for excellence, ensuring that every student who chooses to study with UHI feels valued and supported. Here’s to another year of leading the way in postgraduate education!”
