The results from NSS 2024 are in and our third year students have shared their feedback on their time at dBs Institute. What did they have to say?

The National Student Survey polls millions of undergraduate students around the UK each year for their feedback on their university experience. Looking at everything from the teaching quality, learning opportunities and academic support, to the assessment / feedback and student voice, the NSS results are one of the best ways for prospective students to see whether a university is right for them.
