STUDENT SATISFACTION UNE Business School was thrilled to announce in October that UNE had been ranked first in Australia for overall graduate satisfaction for business postgraduate degrees, with a score of 91%. This news came from the most recent (2016-2017) Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching survey of around 20,000 recent graduates of postgraduate business degrees. Our Deputy Head of School, Dr Theresa Smith-Ruig, spoke with The Australian about this achievement, saying that our university’s top ranking was influenced by the flexibility of study modes as well as entry requirements for postgraduate business courses, which acknowledge extensive work experience. The survey results also showed that smaller, regional universities offering study flexibility are leading the pack in postgraduate business degree student satisfaction. Just before this announcement, UNE also received a fivestar rating for overall student satisfaction from the Good Universities Guide for the thirteenth year in a row; a record unmatched by any other Australian University. This is a proud moment for UNE Business School, as well as the wider university, and is a wonderful way to be rewarded for the dedication of both our staff and students.
