Postgraduate Module Evaluations

Each term, we publish the results of our postgraduate module evaluations across the School. These are the modules our students rated most highly, highlighting the standard of teaching and learning at postgraduate level.

Postgraduate students complete anonymous module evaluations at the end of each teaching term. Results are reviewed by lecturers, Heads of Department, and School leadership, and feed directly into how we develop and improve our postgraduate programmes.

The results below cover Hilary Term 2026. We recognise the top-rated modules in each department, and highlight the highest-rated module with an enrolment of over 100 students where applicable.
