The SB exercise, conducted by the independent research company “i-graduate”, is a global survey¹ of students’ experience in the areas of arrival, learning, living and support. In 2020, CPCE received an overall local student satisfaction rate² of 83.6%, which was gauged by “i-graduate” as “high” and comparable with the global benchmark of 83.2% and the Asian benchmark of 85.7%.
