It’s really important to us that our students enjoy their time in our Kaplan colleges — and of course, that it helps them feel prepared for their university studies. That’s why, every year, we ask our students to tell us about their experience in our student satisfaction survey.
We’re pleased to say that so far in 2025, students are rating their experience highly.
Survey results
This year, we asked our Spring intake students three key questions. Of those who responded to the survey:
92%
said they were happy with their overall experience
92%
agreed that they felt prepared for their university studies
91%
would recommend their College to a friend as a good place to study
We’re thrilled that 92% of students said they were happy with their overall experience. With small class sizes, and personalised support, our colleges aim to give every student a place where they feel happy and valued. It’s fantastic to see that effort reflected in the feedback!
An impressive 91% of students also said they would recommend their College to a friend as a good place to study, which says a lot about how friendly and welcoming our learning communities are.
Most importantly though, 92% of students felt prepared for university. That’s what degree preparation is all about — helping students build the skills and confidence they need to take the next step. We’re so proud that our teaching is setting them up for success.

University of York International Pathway College
Some results were even higher when broken down by College. At the University of York International Pathway College, a brilliant 100% of students responded positively to all three questions, confirming that they had a happy overall experience, felt prepared for their university studies and would recommend their college to a friend.
Students in York benefit from studying on the University’s scenic campus, where they’re part of a welcoming and diverse community from the start. In fact, York has even been named the UK’s most friendly city (Booking.com, 2023)!


Digital Pathways
There were outstanding results from our Digital Pathways too. Students on this flexible, fully online option can study from almost anywhere in the world, while still receiving the same high-quality teaching and dedicated support as on-campus students.
That is demonstrated by the fact 100% of Digital Pathways students reported feeling happy with their overall experience and 98% felt prepared for their university studies!
An impressive 99% would recommend Digital Pathways to a friend, making it a perfect choice for those who want to study online before moving to the UK to begin their degree in person
