This report covers aspects such as the technical frameworks that have been used, how the data is cleaned, how files are processed, and the communications activities that were carried out prior to, during, and after the National Student Survey.
The results of the 2024 National Student Survey are expected on 28 May.
About Landelijk Centrum Studiekeuze
In March 2020, the collection and distribution of information on education choices as well as research into student satisfaction and involvement was formalised in the Higher Education and Scientific Research Act (WHW) as a public and legal duty (art. 7.15a WHW). Landelijk Centrum Studiekeuze (formerly Stichting Studiekeuze123) has been tasked to execute this act, which includes bearing the responsibility for the National Student Survey.
To be able to organise the survey from a position of independence, Landelijk Centrum Studiekeuze is subsidised for the National Student Survey by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. This serves one of Landelijk Centrum Studiekeuze’s most essential goals: publishing reliable and comparable information about courses, degree programmes and available options in higher education.
