Unlike many others we can evidence what we say!
These gold standard student services are reflected in the results of the 2006 i-Graduate survey. This recent independent survey of 38 UK HE institutions undertaken by i-Graduate, which included a number of prestigious UK Universities including Cambridge, Nottingham, Durham, Edinburgh and Manchester, resulted in LIBT being ranked joint 3rd for overall study experience.
The i-Graduate survey also highlighted a number of specific areas where our students were extremely satisfied with their LIBT experience.
In relation to the academic side of their experience:
- 89% of students were satisfied that they were being taught by expert lecturers
- 85% of students were impressed by the library facilities and by the learning spaces made available to them their during their studies
- 83% of students were satisfied that the LIBT course content was of a high quality and would prepare them well for their studies at Brunel
In relation to pastoral care and student support, 86% of LIBT were satisfied about safety and security during their time at LIBT.
Finally with almost 75% of our students stating that they had either actively encouraged or would encourage their friends and fellow international students to study at LIBT, the LIBT pathway is the students' preferred pathway to a degree from the prestigious Brunel University.

Our students’ satisfaction can be backed up by the academic results that they have achieved. The first cohort of LIBT Diploma of Business and Management students completed their studies at Brunel University in July 2006. Of the 52 LIBT graduates who entered the 2nd year of their Business and Management programmes at Brunel in September 2004, 22 gained upper second class (2.1) degrees and 24 gained lower second class degrees (2.2). This is a fantastic result and we are very proud of all of our graduates!
The success of LIBT's students has also been confirmed by a recent study, which compared the performance of LIBT students against international students who had gained direct entry to Brunel University Year 1 with higher academic and English Language qualifications. The research found that LIBT students perform at the same academic level as Brunel students.
