Our latest National Student Survey (NSS) results are in and we got great feedback from David Game Higher Education students!

The NSS is an opportunity for students across the UK to give their honest opinions about their education providers every year. It is critical to the quality assurance and regulation of higher education providers, and we take the results from our students very seriously to help us self-assess and improve.

Our students feel supported.
