The results of the 2026 National Student Survey have revealed the strengths of the Department of Mathematics in ‘Learning Resources’

We placed 4th in the Russell Group for ‘Learning Resources’, among universities included for mathematics in the 2026 National Student Survey (NSS). 

Learning Resources

  1. How well have the IT resources and facilities supported your learning? - We scored 85.2%
  2. How well have the library resources (e.g., books, online services and learning spaces) supported your learning? - We scored 89.1%
  3. How easy is it to access subject specific resources (e.g., equipment, facilities, software) when you need them? - 90.5%

 

What is the National Student Survey

The NSS is a nationwide survey of final-year students in higher and further education. They answer questions on a variety of aspects of their university experience, including their department and course. 

Almost 2,800 York students responded to the 2026 survey, helping prospective applicants to compare courses and make informed decisions about where to study. The survey empowers those taking part to shape the future of their course, giving universities honest feedback on what they are doing well and where they can improve.
