Third of college students feel no academic support

The college experiences of 20,000 students who took part in the poll are mostly positive and the majority feel they are being well prepared for future jobs, the 2014 Irish Survey of Student Engagement found.

However, one of the lowest scores was on ‘academic support levels’, with 64% reporting they were well assisted academically. While the figure was 69% for first-year undergraduates, just 57% of final-year students said they were well supported by their institutions in academic terms.
