Aberystwyth University enjoys high ratings from i-Graduate
The latest research undertaken by i-Graduate reveals that Aberystwyth University enjoys very high satisfaction ratings amongst our international and European Union students.
Students ranked Aberystwyth University 1st in the world for “Managing research”, 7th in the world for “Personal tutors” (95.4%), 4th in the UK for “Financial support” and in the top 10 in the world for “safety”.
The findings are based on data collected during autumn 2013.
Professor John Grattan, Pro Vice-Chancellor International and Student Experience said; “Aberystwyth is a truly international university, welcoming undergraduate and postgraduate students from more than 90 countries. These latest i-Graduate findings underline the students’ satisfaction with the language and research management support we provide for international students, the fantastically warm welcome they receive here, and their appreciation of the safe studying environment Aberystwyth offers.
“i-Graduate is one of a number of studies undertaken by Aberystwyth to assess student satisfaction. The information provided is invaluable for informing the development of the student experience so that Aberystwyth remains attractive to international students in an increasingly competitive market.”
i-Graduate’s International Student Barometer tracks decision-making, expectations, perceptions and intentions of international students from application to graduation.
The findings are based on feedback from over one million students and benchmarks drawn from hundreds of the world’s leading universities.
