National Student Survey Questionnaire
The National Student Survey (NSE) consists of an online questionnaire asking students to give their opinion about various aspects of their course programme and institute of higher education.
The results of the NSE are used for informing prospective students on higher education course programmes and for improving the quality of higher education. The questionnaire covers multiple aspects of a course programme, such as the teachers, the content and organisation of teaching and the programme’s connection to professional practice/professional career. Each block of questions is supplemented with a blank text field so that students can submit any additional comments they have on that aspect of their programme. Some of the questions are asked of all students who participate. In addition, institutions may choose 6 subjects to add to their questionnaires.

- General satisfaction
