University in top 20 for student experience

Newcastle University is ranked 16th in the Times Higher Education’s annual league table of student experience, published on Thursday, 15 January.

Newcastle has risen nine places since the last survey, in 2007, to become the highest-placed institution in North East England.

The survey is based on a questionnaire asking students about various aspects of university life, including the quality of their lectures, attitude of staff, facilities and social life.

In total, over 12,000 full-time undergraduates took part in this year’s polling, which ran from October 2007 to May 2008.
