Highlights from this year’s results include:
- Teaching: 94% of students agreed that teaching staff are enthusiastic, explain concepts clearly, and that their course has been intellectually stimulating and enhanced their academic abilities.
- Organisation: 96% agreed that their course was well organised, ran smoothly and that the guidance and support offered at the start of the course was excellent.
- Skills Development: 96% felt their research skills developed through the course.
- Learning Resources: 98% were satisfied with learning resources, highlighting the high quality of the online library, on-campus IT provision, and subject specific resources.
We would like to thank all our postgraduate students who took the time to complete the survey. The feedback from the survey continues to drive our progress and shape the future of postgraduate education at Durham Law School.
