The pie charts compare the satisfaction rate of both undergraduates and postgraduates towards several types of university’s facilities in the UK in 2007.
Overall, what stands out from the charts is that the very satisfied rate was the highest in all categories. Of equal note is that school rooms were the facility which undergraduates satisfied most, while postgraduates were keen on university cafeteria most.
In terms of school rooms at university, this amenity recorded a relatively similar pattern in both undergraduates and postgraduates; the proportion of the very satisfied showed the lion’s share, at 62% and 63%, respectively. A gap of only 1 percentage point was observed in the quite satisfied rate; the figures for undergraduates and postgraduates were 13% and 14%, respectively. The percentage of the not satisfied was the lowest in both categories; undergraduates’ figure was 25%, higher than that of postgraduates 2 percentage points.
Regarding the university cafeteria, postgraduates were satisfied with this facility the most, with 73%, higher than roughly 20 percentage points compared with undergraduates. The quite satisfied and not satisfied levels of undergraduates were 22% and 26%, respectively, nearly doubling that of postgraduates, 16% in quite satisfied and 11% in not satisfied rate.
Moving to school facilities, undergraduates were more keen on this amenity than postgraduates, with the level of very satisfied at 52%, just by 9 percentage points. A similar pattern can be witnessed in the rate of the quite satisfied; the figure for undergraduates was 34%, continuing higher than that for postgraduates by 2 percentage points. In contrast, the proportion of undergraduates who were not satisfied was lower than that of postgraduates, at 14% and 25%, respectively.
