Around 76 per cent of students were satisfied with the quality of their education experience – up from 73 per cent in 2021.

International student satisfaction increased by an impressive 7.5 per cent to nearly 75 per cent in 2022.

“These results are testament to the adaptability, perseverance, innovation and hard work of both students and their universities,” Universities Australia Chief Executive Catriona Jackson said.

“The worst of the disruption of the past few years appears to be behind us.”
