Proud!  

September 2022

There is a buzz about the place as staff are working really hard in the background getting ready to welcome a new intake plus our lovely returning students. We can’t wait to see you all at Welcome Week commencing 19th September ready for the start of the semester the following week.

We have held graduation ceremonies for our departing students this week and we are so proud of them and look forward to hearing about their future successes!

Before they left us, our students completed a National Student survey (NSS) answering questions about their journey with us. All undergraduate final year students do this at all UK universities and sector average responses are calculated. This is an excellent way for future students to find out about the course that they are planning to study at the University of their Choice.

The triple accredited accounting course NSS results have certainly made me proud of my team and everyone that has supported our students on their journey! A few highlights from this year’s results:

  • 94% of students said that my course has challenged me to achieve my best work (sector average 78%)
  • 94% of students said that staff are good at explaining things (sector average 84%)
  • 98% of students said that feedback on my work has been timely (sector average 69%)
  • Overall satisfaction 92.7% which is 13% above the sector average!

If you are interested in studying accounting, finance or economics related courses please drop me a line to L.P.Morris@wlv.ac.uk. I look forward to hearing from you!
