The latest Student Barometer survey has good news for CiCS. We have maintained a high rate of satisfaction for our IT services.

The Student Barometer

The Student Barometer (UK Domiciled Students) and International Student Barometer surveys are independent surveys carried out by i-graduate. The results are compared with participating Universities across the Russell Group, UK and Internationally. Questions are asked about the application process as well as experiences once students arrive. Surveys are sent out twice a year.
