STUDENTS have put Essex University in the top 20 universities in the country.
The national student satisfaction survey 2012 placed the institution 17th in England after nine out of ten students said they were satisfied overall with their course.
The 89 per cent score by Essex University beat the national average of 85 per cent.
Vice-chancellor Professor Anthony Forster said: “We will not be complacent. As a leading research university, we are committed to excellence in the Education we provide for our students and ensuring our staff are great teachers.”
The National Student Survey was completed by 287,000 students at 154 higher education institutions and 106 further education colleges across the country on behalf of the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
