The 2025 National Student Survey (NSS) results have been published today, July 9, with Liverpool Hope University seeing an uplift in scores across the majority of categories.
This year, Hope placed first in the North West across eight areas, up from six areas in 2024. This includes:
- Teaching on my course
- Learning opportunities
- Assessment and feedback
- Academic support
- Student voice
- Students’ Union representation of academic interests
- Communication about mental wellbeing support services
- Freedom of expression
These scores rank the institution in the top five nationally for learning opportunities (3rd), assessment and feedback (3rd), academic support (2nd), student voice (5th) and freedom of expression (2nd).
Liverpool Hope is delighted to report improvements across a number of main categories, exceeding its benchmarks in all categories and attracting an overall response rate of 83%.
The Office for Students (OfS) reports 375,000 students across the UK took part in the latest NSS. It offers final year students to provide feedback on their course and other aspects of university or college life.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Dr Penny Haughan, said: “Following on from our positive results last year, we are delighted to once again have scored highly in the National Student Survey across a number of services. Student response has placed us first in the region across eight categories, as well as within the top 5 nationally for five of those areas. We are so proud of this achievement.
“Liverpool Hope is committed to providing a quality education that equips our graduates with the skills to pursue their ambitions and shape a successful future for themselves. This is supported through our personal, student-centric approach to teaching and a robust wellbeing service.
“Our colleagues across the University and the Students’ Union embody Hope’s values and their commitment enables us to create an environment in which students can excel.
“Student feedback is essential for progress and their input in this survey will ensure that we continue to adapt to the needs of our student body and develop the student experience at Liverpool Hope.”
