Our score for feedback is now 2nd in the Russell Group (a group of 24 leading teaching and researching universities in the UK) and the highest in the Faculty of Social Sciences, amongst departments with core BA degrees.

We are number 1 in the Russell Group for organisation and management and enhancing the communication skills of our students. We are number 3 in the Russell Group for personal development.

We would like to thank all our graduating students for this great result and all our staff for their hard work in promoting teaching excellence and the student experience.

We look forward to working with all our students next year to further enhance the student experience in PAIS.
