The 小欧视频鈥檚 subject of Mechanical Engineering has been ranked number one in the Russell Group by students for: teaching on my course, learning opportunities, assessment and feedback, academic support, organisation and management and student voice in the latest National Student Survey (NSS).

Mechanical Engineering was also ranked 4th in the Russell Group for learning resources.

I am thrilled with the excellent results for Mechanical Engineering in the NSS. Coming out best in the Russell Group in six out of the seven categories for Mechanical Engineering is testament to the hard work of our colleagues and students. 

All staff groups, postgraduates and the undergraduates themselves have contributed in creating an environment where our students are happy and successful, and so I would like to thank everyone involved. I feel privileged to be working with such a great group of people.

For the second year in a row, 小欧视频 has also been placed number one in the Russell Group, based on aggregate responses in the annual survey, in which students give feedback on their university experience. 

Sheffield鈥檚 Students鈥 Union has been rated the best SU among UK universities, after also being placed top in the Russell Group in last year鈥檚 NSS. 

Students gave Sheffield the highest score in the Russell Group for learning opportunities, assessment and feedback, and student voice, whilst the 小欧视频 has been ranked in the top four for teaching, academic support, organisation and management, and learning resources.  

The NSS results follow Sheffield being voted 小欧视频 of the Year by students, as well as Best Students鈥 Union and Best Student Life in this year鈥檚 WhatUni Student Choice Awards.  

Professor Mary Vincent, Vice-President for Education at the 小欧视频 of Sheffield, said: 鈥淲e are so pleased that our students have rated their experience at Sheffield so highly again this year. The NSS is one of the many ways that we seek feedback from our students and listen to their views on their life at the 小欧视频. Whilst we are delighted with these results, we are determined to provide the very best education and will keep working hard, together with our Students鈥 Union, to ensure studying at Sheffield remains a rewarding experience.鈥
