Student satisfaction in the United Kingdom
September 06, 2019
EasyUni Staff
Students studying in Slovenia are the most satisfied, followed by Norway and Austria. International students in the UK are slightly more interested in the academic aspects of their university experience compared with the European average with factors such as the cost of living, social life and the weather being the main reasons for discontent, of which the quality of accommodation and its availability attract the highest number of complaints.
About 435,000 international students studied at the United Kigdom's 163 publicly funded universities in 2011-12, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, comfortably ahead of its main competitors which are Germany, Russia, France, Spain and the Netherlands. However, other European nations are becoming increasingly attractive options, and coupled with the increasing availability of master’s courses taught in English at continental universities, the UK’s current market-leading position looks to be an unstable one.
