Undergraduate Module Evaluations

Each term, we publish the results of our undergraduate module evaluations across all four departments. These are the modules and lecturers our students rated most highly, a reflection of the teaching quality we are proud to support and celebrate.

Evaluations are completed anonymously by students at the end of each teaching term. Results are reviewed by lecturers, Heads of Department, and School leadership, and used to inform ongoing improvements to teaching and learning across the School.

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.
