UOW tops NSW in teaching and learning surveys

UOW has outperformed all other NSW universities in latest QILT data. 

UOW has outperformed all other NSW universities in student satisfaction, graduate skills and quality of learning resources in the latest round of teaching and learning surveys.

The recent release of the latest Federal Government’s Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) data showed UOW students are more satisfied with their overall studies and student experience than most other university students in the country.

QILT data also revealed that, more than any other university in Australia, newly qualified UOW undergraduates believe their studies have improved their generic skills. Across 12 categories, UOW also claimed the top scores in NSW for overall satisfaction of newly qualified undergraduates and quality of learning resources.

UOW Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings, CBE said the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵapp attributes the positive survey responses from students to its efforts to support them through a range of personalised services and extra-curricular activities which enhance their university experience.

“We have several support services that focus on helping students manage their transition to university and provide them with opportunities for career planning and employment seeking towards the end of their degree,” Professor Wellings said.

“We are very pleased with the results in this survey, particuarly as the data comes from the students themselves.” 

QILT helps students and their families make informed choices about their higher education options by bringing together survey data from all Australian universities about students’ experiences and graduate job outcomes. The surveys cover the student life cycle from commencement to employment.
