Survey results
The ISB survey ran in November and December 2022 and was open to all international students who are based on our UK campuses. This was the first time we have run the survey since 2018.
The survey gives us a wealth of information on the aspirations and experience of international students in Reading. This includes information on admissions, arrival, teaching and learning, support services and more, and so are potentially useful to many teams across the University.
The results revealed that 91% said they are satisfied with life at the University of Reading. This compares well with 89% for other universities in the UK.
The University’s Global Engagement Strategy Board has looked at the results and will produce an action plan to address any areas for improvement.
Colleagues with any questions on the survey and its results can contact David Carter, Head of the International Study and Language Institute.
