Students are now engaging with their undergraduate courses as much as they did prior to the Covid pandemic, according to a report out today.
The UK Engagement Survey (UKES) showed that, after a dip in engagement in 2020 and 2021, students’ engagement with their studies largely bounced back to pre-pandemic levels in 2022.
The UK Engagement Survey (UKES) is produced by Advance HE and is the only nationwide survey that focuses on the time and effort students invest in their studies as well as how they engage with their learning. As such, it offers unique insights for universities wishing to understand how they can best support their undergraduates.
“The survey indicates a welcome recovery in students’ engagement after a difficult period during the height of the pandemic,” said Advance HE Chief Executive, Alison Johns.
“This bounce-back is largely due to the efforts the sector has made to understand students’ changing needs and adapt the ways it enables students to access to their learning.
