Partnering with globally recognised universities and institutions to deliver accredited qualifications at our town centre site, we pride ourselves on developing local talent in a learning environment that is continually shaped by student feedback.
The latest independent NSS survey, overseen by the Office for Students(OfS), asks final year undergraduate students about the quality of their course across all publicly funded higher education institutions and further education colleges across England.
The survey is seen as a national benchmark of success. The results come from 27 questions which together create the overall theme scores.
UCO received positive responses higher than the England sector average this year for each of the seven category themes.
This included:
Compared to all other Greater Manchester FE colleges, we scored highest for our academic support (96.9%) and learning resources (92.8%).
Sue Holden, Assistant Principal, HE and Higher Skills said “This is another superb set of NSS results, and I want to thank all our students for their feedback and fantastic appreciation of what UCO has delivered for them.
“To again be scoring more than 90% positive responses for our teaching, learning resources, academic support, and assessment and feedback highlights the truly supportive community we have here at UCO.”
