National Student Survey Results

The results of the National Student Survey (NSE; Nationale Studenten Enquête) indicate how satisfied students are with their Dutch higher education courses. Students at universities and universities of applied sciences are asked a number of questions, including how satisfied they are with their course programmes and the institutions at which they’re enrolled. The NSE results also provide insight into how students experience the overall atmosphere, the study facilities offered, and the connection between their programme and professional practice.
