What is the current feedback from Students? 

68% of DSA recipients agreed that DSA support enabled them to participate more fully in their course.*

85% of students strongly agreed or agreed that ‘DSA learning support is important for me at this time’ (Covid-19 survey, April 2020)**

 

“I came out with a first, I would not come out with a top degree without that support…. My personal tutor spent extra time sitting with me going through things i needed to ask questions with it. Without the support of the tutor and my notetaker i think i would be in a different position”*       

    

 

37% of students said that they couldn’t have done their course without getting support from DSAs*
