As Queen Mary celebrates our results in the National Student Survey (NSS), the School of Engineering and Materials Science has seen some of the greatest improvement in the University.

We saw particular successes in Student Voice and Academic Support, with Aerospace Engineering – and Engineering as a whole - coming first in London for Student Voice, showing that students feel their opinions are listened to, and that they have power to make change.

Engineering at Queen Mary also came first in London and 7th in the UK for Assessment & Feedback, and first in London and 9th in the UK for Academic Support.

Other successes include:

  • Second in the UK for Organisation & Management and Student Voice in Materials Science
  • First in London and third in the UK for Student Voice in our Mechanical Engineering courses
  • First in London and Fourth in the UK for Student Voice in Production & Manufacturing Engineering

Head of School, Professor Hazel Screen said “Our NSS results have improved significantly this year. These achievements reflect the dedication and commitment of all our staff”

Director of Education, Dr Sara Hejikazemi said “These results reflect the contributions of all colleagues involved in teaching, assessment, student support, technical services, professional services, programme leadership, and the many behind-the-scenes activities that help create a positive student experience. It is clear that our students feel listened to, supported and valued, which is something we should all be proud of.”
