Professor Miles Ogborn, Head of the School of Geography at Queen Mary, welcomed the results: "We are very pleased in the School of Geography that our students are responding so thoughtfully and enthusiastically to the innovative and challenging programmes that we offer in Geography and Environmental Science. The high and rising levels of satisfaction shown in the NSS demonstrate a real commitment to teaching and learning by both students and staff."

NSS 2013 results for Queen Mary overall show that 89 per cent of its students are satisfied with the quality of their course, a five-year high and three percentage points above the national average. Among Russell Group universities nationally, QM’s students are now the eighth most satisfied.
