Manchester Met ranked 7th in England for student experience

Manchester Metropolitan University has been ranked 7th in England for student experience and its students are more positive about their university experience than ever before.
For the fourth year in a row, Manchester Met has seen improved results in the National Student Survey (NSS) and is once again found to provide an outstanding student experience.
The 2025 NSS results – published on Wednesday 9 July – are the best yet for the University, with high-performing themes ranging from Teaching and Academic Support to Student Voice and more.
Manchester Met was ranked 7th in England and 11th in the UK by The Times, with 85.8% of the University’s students reporting overall positivity about their University experience – an increase on last year and above the sector average of 83.4%.
Professor Andrew Dainty, Vice-Provost and Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education at Manchester Met, said: “These results are a reflection of the hard work of colleagues across the University to ensure our students have the best possible teaching and learning experience.
“To achieve our best results to date and see continuous improvement for the fourth year in a row is a testament to the dedication and commitment of colleagues across Manchester Met.
“The results also strengthen our status as a Teaching Excellence Framework Gold-rated institution and tell a story about the excellent education and teaching experiences we provide here at Manchester Met.”
Run by the Office for Students (OfS), the NSS surveys final year undergraduate university students each year to assess satisfaction, help prospective students, and provide universities with insights to improve teaching and services.
