The categories


The Global Student Satisfaction Awards 2023 highlight the global and regional trends in what students value the most in education.

Students have the possibility of rating their universities on a scale from from 1 to 5 across seven aspects of their study experience.

All participating universities which score above 4 receive a medal of satisfaction.

The medals signal to all future students that these universities will look after their dreams and future.


Empower students to recognise the best educators 

The 2023 Global Student Satisfaction Awards are a project by Studyportals created with support from Unibuddy.

The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2023. It is an open call to both students and universities to contribute to the transparency of study choice, and the quality of education worldwide.

Studyportals is inviting students to review their study programme and share their abroad experiences. In this way, we aim to give recognition to the best educators and award those universities which have achieved the highest student satisfaction ratings.
