The influential The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide league tables rank all universities in the UK according to criteria such as student satisfaction, research quality, entry standards, student-to-staff ratio, spend on facilities and graduate prospects to create a comprehensive guide to UK universities.
Mechanical Engineering at DMU is one of the subject areas named in the top five for teaching quality and student experience.
Dr Hobina Rajakaruna, course leader of Mechanical Engineering, said: “It’s great to be in the top five for student experience. I think it’s because of the support the whole team provides, we have an open door policy here to offer support at any time and we really focus on added value for students.
The courses included within Mechanical, Production and Manufacturing Engineering were also ranked third in the country for both their learning resources and their organisation and management by the National Student Survey 2015.
“Students are used to looking at league tables to help them decide on a university, and with so many options it’s a great way to help them to make a decision.”
