How will the results be used?

The results of the NSE will be analysed throughout the UvA and used to improve the university. For instance, previous NSE results led to the creation of the UvA Job BoardExternal link for students and alumni, and students can now see the results of course evaluations. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science also uses the results to provide information to prospective students at a national level.

What is the NSE?

The National Student Survey (NSE) is a nationwide survey of student satisfaction. Every year, almost all students in Dutch higher education are invited to give their opinion on their degree programme and on their research university or university of applied sciences.
