The survey, run by the Office for Students, questions around half a million final year undergraduate students across the country about their experiences.

Results for Bishop Burton include;

• 89% of students said staff are good at explaining things
• 88% agreed that lecturers made the subject interesting
• 88% claimed they have had the right opportunities to work with other students as part of their course.

Helen Molton, Assistant Principal Higher Education and Student Services, said: “I am delighted that so many students are happy studying their degree with us, and that our results have improved since last year.

“Although these results are pleasing, and are above the national benchmark, we will not rest on our laurels. We want to deliver the best degree provision we can and will strive to make further improvements.”

Bishop Burton, near Beverley, runs a wide range of degree programmes in subjects including Agriculture, Animal Management, Equine and Sport.

There is still time to secure a place for this September.
