Local university rated best in Scotland for postgraduate student satisfaction

Postgraduate students at UHI have rated their study experience as the best in Scotland in a UK-wide survey.

Local postgraduates returned a 95% student satisfaction score, earning UHI the number one spot in Scotland, and fourth place across the UK.

More than 20 students from across UHI completed this year’s survey, rating the university particularly highly for organisation, engagement, teaching, assessment and support.

Commenting on the results, Dr Iain Morrison, Dean of Student Experience, said: “These are exceptional results. Students are the best judges of what makes a good education and to be rated highest in the country is to the great credit of our wonderful staff. Coming so soon after our extremely high undergraduate student satisfaction results, this survey confirms that UHI really should be the first choice for anyone considering postgraduate study this year.”

“UHI’s postgraduate courses reflect the unique environment, culture and heritage of the Highlands and Islands and are often linked to academic research carried out by its staff and students. Courses are taught locally from the UHI region but are also available to study online across the world.”

Heather Innes, President of the Highlands and Islands Students’ Association, added: “These results are certainly something to smile about. We’re looking forward to another great year where we’llbe welcoming postgraduate students back for the start of session and also to the important partnership work with UHI to make their experience even better.”
