Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick has achieved an impressive 90 per cent overall satisfaction rating in the National Student Survey (NSS).

The NSS is completed by finalist students, across all our degree programmes, and is used to help compile university and subject league tables.

Our scores have significantly increased across the range of NSS questions. Our Departmental figures show particularly large increases of 8 per cent on feedback and 16 per cent on personal development.

Our score for feedback is now 2nd in the Russell Group (a group of 24 leading teaching and researching universities in the UK) and the highest in the Faculty of Social Sciences, amongst departments with core BA degrees.

We are number 1 in the Russell Group for organisation and management and enhancing the communication skills of our students. We are number 3 in the Russell Group for personal development.

Overall we are 3 points above the Russell Group average in terms of overall satisfaction and ahead of the Russell Group average in 5 of the 6 NSS Categories (feedback and assesment, academic support, organisation and management, learning resources, and personal development).

We would like to thank all our graduating students for this great result and all our staff for their hard work in promoting teaching excellence and the student experience.

We look forward to working with all our students next year to further enhance the student experience in PAIS.
