How to use this data
This page presents sector-level student feedback analysis for archaeology, with sentiment benchmarks and topic breakdowns you can reference directly in institutional documents.
Use this for
- Annual Programme Review (APR) — reference the top-categories table and sentiment benchmarks to contextualise your programme's results against the discipline.
- TEF and quality enhancement — cite the sentiment index and sector delta columns as evidence of awareness of student priorities relative to the sector.
- Professional body revalidation — draw on placement, assessment and support data for evidence of responsiveness to student feedback in your discipline.
- Staff-Student Liaison Committees (SSLCs) — share the key findings and most-negative categories as discussion starters with student representatives.
- New programme design — use the topic share and sentiment data to anticipate which aspects of the student experience will need proactive attention.
