Top marks! For the third year in a row the Geology Department at Leicester was rated by our students as the best of the UK's departments offering full-time geology degrees. In answer to the question "Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of the course" 97% of our students indicated that they were, and our average score across the 22 questions of the National Student Survey, a better test of true overall satisfaction, was higher than any other geoscience department in the UK.
