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 results will also be used to provide information to prospective students at a national level.
