UK Archaeology students satisfied with courses
The Press Association
It's a slow news day, and I though that this was quite interesting, so here it is as a space filler:
Despite a rapid growth in the numbers of students taking less traditional degrees, satisfaction levels are higher in long-established academic disciplines such as physics and history.
The figures emerged from the Government-backed National Student Survey, which analysed answers from 177,000 final year students.
On average, 81% of students said they were broadly satisfied with their university courses overall this year. But the figure was as low as 74% for media studies and 76% for students taking tourism, transport and travel. It fell to just 70% among art and design students and was 77% for performing arts students. Only 78% of computer science students said they were satisfied.
The most satisfied group were history and archaeology students, with 90% saying they were happy with their courses.
