This week we have the honour and pleasure of announcing the annual winners of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards, our annual celebration of the student voice and the excellence of the sector.
While the night is all about the winning institutions, behind the glitz and the glamour there is a great deal of data and insight. With overall satisfaction being removed from the NSS this year, these reviews are a key resource for students in their decision making and give voice to students who are studying.
And there is good news to celebrate. Against a very challenging backdrop – with the cost of living rising and hitting students hard, academics striking over pay, and the very real sense of exhaustion in the sector as universities emerged from the two years of the pandemic – across all eight categories student sentiment has improved compared to last year.
