Michael Harkin, Vice-Chancellor and Principal, said: "These results are a fantastic endorsement of the experience we provide for our students and the commitment of colleagues across the University.

"At UCB, we have always believed that higher education should be about more than gaining a qualification. For us, it is about giving students the practical skills, industry insight and confidence they need to succeed in their chosen careers.

"Our focus on career-focused learning, strong employer connections and personalised support is what makes the UCB experience distinctive.

"We are delighted that our students have recognised this in their feedback, and we will continue listening to them and investing in the areas that matter most to ensure every student has the opportunity to achieve their ambitions."

The National Student Survey is one of the UK's largest annual surveys of final-year undergraduate students, providing valuable insight into students' experiences of teaching, learning and support.

This year's results reinforce University College Birmingham's reputation for delivering a high-quality, practical, career-focused education where students feel supported to achieve their ambitions.
