GBS eclipses sector average in 2024 NSS results

Global Banking School (GBS) has seen its reputation as a leading private provider of higher education boosted yet again, following the release of the National Student Survey (NSS) today.

Global Banking School (GBS) has seen its reputation as a leading private provider of higher education boosted yet again, following the release of the 2024 National Student Survey (NSS).

The Office for Students (OfS) has today released its NSS data for 2024, showing a considerable increase in satisfaction across almost all categories.

Most notably, 93% of students were satisfied in the ‘teaching on my course’ category. This is a very high level of satisfaction and 7% above the average for the Higher Education sector as a whole.

GBS also ranked significantly above the sector average across all categories in the survey with Organisation and Management 12% higher and Academic Support 10% higher than the average reported by the OfS.

CEO of GBS, Professor Ray Lloyd, said the results demonstrate the success of GBS’ unique approach to learning.

“We strive to change lives through education, and it is fantastic to see that our students are satisfied,” said Professor Lloyd.

“These results also showed that our students consider their experience with us to be excellent and well ahead of the sector.

“Our approach to higher education is a little different. We organise our delivery to meet the needs of our students, putting them at the centre of all we do.

We emphasise flexibility and accessibility, allowing our students to study in a way that best suits them.

“We cater to a largely mature-age cohort across Birmingham, Leeds, London and Manchester.

“Many of our students already work full or part-time, have families and manage to fit their studies into this busy schedule.

“We enable them to gain the skills they need to take the next step in their careers and become leaders in their field, whether this be in construction management, health and social sciences, business and management or banking and finance.

“We welcome the data released today by the OfS, demonstrating the tangible impact we are having on students’ lives.”
