St Andrews University is one of the top three universities in the UK for teaching and the quality of the academic experience it offers students, according to the results of the National Student Survey.
St Andrews is the leading multi-faculty university in Scotland and joint top in the UK in the 2014 NSS.
St Andrews is up one place on last year’s survey and shares first place with Bath University and Keele University.
With 93% of students declaring themselves either satisfied or very satisfied with the overall quality of their university education, the Fife institution is ahead of both Cambridge and Oxford (joint 6th).
The only other Scottish university in the UK top 10 is Glasgow (also joint 6th).
In five subjects (biology, computer science, divinity, geography and anthropology) St Andrews achieved satisfaction levels of 100%.
Professor Lorna Milne, St Andrews vice-principal and proctor, said: “If St Andrews students are among the most satisfied in the country, it’s really down to two things: our superb staff, who work very hard to provide the best education they possibly can; and the students themselves, who clearly appreciate being challenged to achieve excellent results.”
The survey canvassed the opinions of around 265,000 final-year students at higher education institutions across the UK.
