Birkbeck tops polls for student satisfaction and teaching in London
This year's National Student Survey results show that Birkbeck, University of London has the most satisfied students in the capital. The College was voted number one for quality of teaching and also came in joint first for overall student satisfaction.
Birkbeck student Myriam Zinga explains: "At Birkbeck, the lecturers were flexible and open-minded and gave equal worth to every student. The central location, small groups and quality of teaching made Birkbeck a very positive experience for me."
Tricia King is Pro Vice Master for Student Experience at Birkbeck, and she puts the College's top scores down to understanding the needs of busy, working Londoners. She says:
"We are delighted that our students continue to rate us so highly. In the end, it's what they think that really matters. Over 90% of Birkbeck academics are actively researching in their field, which translates into fresh and exciting teaching material for their students. Our student body is unique, and we educate a community of learners as diverse as the capital city population. All of our staff really understand the needs of students juggling work and families alongside evening study."
Toby Harrison, who is currently studying for a BA at the College, comments: "Birkbeck offers a really good opportunity for people to return to learning at a later stage in their lives. It's a good alternative to the traditional mode of university full-time study. Studying here is so enjoyable; it's a mixture of things, from the convenience of evening study, the enthusiasm and knowledge of the lecturers, and the mix of students of all ages and nationalities. Birkbeck's strong reputation, plus the attitude and ethos of the College, make it a great place to study."
