The nationwide student survey takes place every four years. It covers a wide range of topics, from the social and economic situation (formerly known as the social survey) to impairments that make it difficult for students to study, challenges and general conditions during the course of their studies, career prospects and social values.
The benefit for participating higher education institutions lies in the exclusive access to the data collected at your institutions, which can form the basis for study organisation and evidence-based quality management, among other things. In addition, they receive access to the project-related publications (educational reporting). At the same time, academics at your university can use the data for their own research purposes (Research Data Centre).
The results are highly relevant for society, science, business and politics. For this reason, the study is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is being conducted in cooperation with the German National Association for Student Affairs (DSW) and is supported by the German Rectors' Conference (HRK).
