In the 2023 National Student Survey (NSS), The University of Essex Online receives distinctions for excellence in academic assistance, teaching, and learning.
The University of Essex Online received good ratings for teaching, learning, and academic assistance in the findings of the 2023 National Student Survey (NSS) performed by the Office for Students (OfS).

Our dedication to providing top-notch online education has once again been validated by our students. The findings demonstrate remarkable performance in the crucial areas of course instruction, learning opportunities, and evaluation and feedback, with the majority of measures exceeding industry averages and similar benchmarks.
We are especially happy with these results since they demonstrate the serious effort we are making to include student opinions and voices in the excellent online learning we provide. The University of Essex will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2024, and these NSS results from online students are a great evidence to the school's ongoing dedication for bringing about positive change throughout the world community.
