Sources:

  • Survey of student satisfaction with the study programme
  • Survey of satisfaction and identification of needs of the teaching and research staff (PDI)
  • Biennial survey of satisfaction and identification of needs of the administrative and service staff (PAS) who have supported the undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

Items rated on a scale of 1 to 4, where 1 means ‘not at all satisfied’ and 4 means ‘very satisfied’.
