We've moved up in Whatuni student-voted league table

Solent University has climbed 28 places in the University of the Year category for Whatuni’s Student Choice Awards 2018.

The awards are an annual celebration of student satisfaction based on reviews by 36,000 students across 12 categories. Solent has moved up again, from 85 to 57 (out of 126), in the University of the Year category.

“The Whatuni league table is based on what students think about their university, so we are delighted to have climbed again this year. At Solent we put students at the heart of everything we do and are continually improving our offer,” says Professor Graham Baldwin, Solent’s Vice-Chancellor.

“We are particularly pleased to see our students' enjoyment of our new and updated facilities reflected, moving from 31 to 28 in the Uni Facilities category, and that we have also moved 40 places (from 75 to 35) for student support.”

The Whatuni Student Choice Awards differs from other university rankings tables as it is solely driven by student opinion. Students give their university an overall rating of one to five; with those results averaged to create overall ratings for each university across twelve categories of student experiences. Solent has a ranking of 4.05 out of five, with the highest (Harper Adams University and Loughborough University) being 4.53.

Solent went up in 10 categories, as well as placing 16^th (out of 37) for Postgraduate.

• University of the Year - 57^th place (up from 85)
• Student Support – 35^th place (up from 75)
• Job Prospects – 46^th place (up from 81)
• Course and Lecturers – 46^th place (up from 85^th)
