Norway has claimed the top spot in this year’s international student satisfaction awards from StudyPortals, overtaking Ireland which came out on top last year, with 9.26 out of 10.

Ireland has been named the country with the most satisfied international students in Europe in the 2015 StudyPortals International Student Satisfaction awards, surpassing the Nordic countries for the first time.

Overall satisfaction levels among foreign HE students across Europe are high, with two-thirds saying they would rate their experience with a nine or 10 out of 10. Based on a student satisfaction survey produced by StudyPortals.eu, they were in fact more satisfied than domestic peers (8.8/10 compared with 8/10).
