Why Arden
Find out who we are and why Arden is the choice for students worldwide.
We’re proud to share that Arden University has ranked 5th in the UK for overall student positivity in the 2025 National Student Survey (NSS), climbing 11 places since last year!
The analysis, which was carried out by Times Higher Education, gave us an 87.3% student positivity score, reflecting our commitment to providing all our students with the best learning experience possible.
The NSS, run each year across the UK higher education sector, gives final-year undergraduate students the chance to share honest feedback about their university experience. The results are widely recognised as one of the most trusted measures of student satisfaction.
Climbing into the national top five is an endorsement of the work we’re doing across the university - particularly in areas such as personal academic support, career-focused teaching, and building a learning community that’s accessible to students no matter where, when, or how they study.
At Arden University, we’re committed to continually improving the learning experience we offer. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and this result encourages us to keep listening, evolving, and delivering the kind of flexible, future-focused education that genuinely works for real lives.
To every student who took the time to share feedback, thank you. You’re helping us create a better Arden community every year.
