All these factors are pertinent to the academic experience witnessed by the students and once the results are published the response is welcomed by the University & Student Union for reinforcing better facilities for the students. 

Talking about York’s achievement, for the last 6 years consecutively it has been awarded by the NSS for offering remarkable facilities to the students. If we talk about this year then approximately 3,25,500 students participated in the survey and shared their feedback which resulted in one of the largest sets of feedback received by the NSS Team.

Apart from this other subjects such as Law, English, Music, Forensic & Archaeological Sciences, Genetics, Mental Health Nursing, and Environmental Sciences also made it to the list & all of them attained different rankings in the results published by NSS 2022.

On this achievement secured by the University of York; Professor Tracy Lightfoot (Vice-chancellor ~ Teaching, Learning & Students) stated that the NSS results are proof of how hard academic professionals work at the university to provide the best education to the students studying here at York. From advanced learning methods, and optimized laboratories to spacious classrooms there are so many facilities students get to access easily at the university. He also said that the university has been continuously providing fantastic academic facilities to all its students & will continue doing the same.

Apart from this, the university had also pledged to resume all the offline classes with a bang post the lockdown was uplifted with promising facilities whilst maintaining all the necessary social distancing & covid precautions. With the resume of the offline classes, it was seen that the academic graph of the students accelerated rapidly as they focused more during the classroom lectures. As a result, grades were improvised & maximum percentage of the undergraduate (UG) & postgraduate (PG) students exhibited outstanding results.

Though the major significance will be put on mental health to promote the enthusiasm amongst the students. It’s because throughout the entire lockdown students have shown enough patience and acted calmly amidst that ruckus which hampered their education to a huge extent. So to improvise the well-being of the students the university management decided that prominent focus would be given to mental health & creating awareness about it whilst listening to the student feedback continuously for building up a lovely community for the students as per their requirements so that they love to roam around & spend their time within the university campus during their study duration.
