The first section of the survey deals mainly with how you feel about your studies, the university and the interaction between lecturers and students.
Background: In this section, we use many questions that have already been used in other major studies (especially National Education Panel, Social Survey). This enables an easier comparison to others: How well did the students at Frankfurt UAS manage the transition into their studies? How well do they cope with the atmosphere, course contents etc.? We can draw conclusions from this data and, if necessary, take measures such as additional support services.
Topic: Your satisfaction with the studies and services, Awareness of university services
Background: Universities are legally obliged to include student feedback in the further development of study programmes. Hence, we would now like to know how satisfied the students are with regard to teaching, study organisation and equipment. In addition, there are several services available for which we would like to know how well-known these offers are among our students.
Since a number of the questions are the same as in the nationwide Study Quality Monitor Survey, we can compare ourselves with other universities.
Background: In the FrankfurtRheinMain metropolitan region, many students are employed or engaged in other activities in addition to their studies. This is both a strength and a burden for these students. An overview of the proportion of these students and their goals helps us to understand the conditions under which certain students fulfil their studies at the university.
Background: The university has quantitative information on how many students complete their studies within the standard duration; this rate is a success indicator by which the university is assessed. But what are (good) reasons for this? What can we learn from this?
For this section, we have also taken some questions from other research surveys (e.g. from the Study Quality Monitor Survey).
At the end of the survey we ask you to provide all this personal information. Why do we want to know all this and is this compatible with current data protection policies?
The survey underlies strict data protection measures, which ensure that no personal attribution of data to specific participants can be made. The survey was checked and approved by an official data protection officer.
We would like to get to know our students better and answer the following questions: How diverse are our students? Does the university succeed in involving and sufficiently supporting all of the students regardless of their diversity? Or are there still problems/blind spots? What could be the reason for this? What do we have to learn from this?
Of course, all answers are voluntary!
