We’re pleased to announce the results of Norland College’s
first ever National Student Survey (NSS).
The NSS, which has been running since 2005, is a UK-wide
survey of students in the final year of an undergraduate course, though this is
the first time Norland College has participated. The survey gives students the
opportunity to provide public feedback about the institution and their course.
95% of our final year students took part in the survey.

The results are extremely positive, as expected, and we
welcome the news that Norland has achieved an above sector average score of 90% for
overall satisfaction. What shines through really clearly is the recognition of
strong career opportunities for Norland graduates – with 100% of participants
agreeing with the following statement, of which 94% ‘definitely agreed’: “As a
result of my course, I believe that I have improved my career prospects.”
The employability of Norlanders is enhanced not only through
work placements, which prepare our students for employment, but also through
the practical skills gained throughout their time at Norland. The prestigious
Norland Diploma runs alongside the degree course and gives our students the
opportunity to put theory into practice and gain real-world experience with
children. Alongside Norland’s heritage and tradition, the Norland Diploma is
part of what distinguishes Norlanders from other Early Years graduates – and
makes them highly sought after. That’s why Norland graduates command an average
starting salary of £26,000 with huge potential and demand for their services
consistently greater than the number of nannies available to place.

Dr Janet Rose, Norland Principal, commented: “We strive to offer best-in-class
Early Years education to our students and to strengthen their career prospects
upon graduating with regular Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses
and the best possible representation through our very own dedicated Norland
Agency. Norland College is renowned for its heritage and tradition, and we’re
using those solid foundations from which to build a positive, prosperous future
for our students.”
