Revealed: The Lancaster Uni students most satisfied with the teaching in their lectures

I thought nobody liked 9am lectures. You’re not necessarily hungover, but you’re tired. You got dressed in a rush and had to skip the queue at Greggs because you were running late. And then, you have to sit through 50 minutes of a lecturer talking at you, all the while trying to take notes that are somehow legible enough you are going to be able to understand them when it comes to revising.

Well at least that’s not the case for everyone. See some Lancs students love their lecturers and they love what they are taught. To them, there is nothing better than bounding out of bed on a Monday morning and racing down to Margaret Fell. The Times and Sunday Times Complete University Guide 2023 has put together a handy guide of the Lancs students most satisfied with the quality of their teaching and it makes for interesting reading.

32 per cent of French students are not satisfied with the quality of teaching at Lancaster. It’s not much better for Spanish, 31 per cent aren’t satisfied with the quality of teaching for Iberian languages.

`Meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum, medicine students are really happy with the teaching in the Medical School. Both medicine and “subjects allied to medicine” boast 84.6 per cent of students being satisfied with the teaching quality.
