The third response figures on the National Student Survey (NSE) 2023 are in. Unfortunately, in the results reported on Friday 10 February, we do less well compared to HAN as a whole: 21.2% for our school and 25.1% as HAN as a whole.

For students who have not yet completed the NSE, a reminder was sent out on 14 February. So will you help improve the response? Because, as our school, we would like to score at least 40% across all forms of courses!

What can you as a student give your opinion about?

Through the NSE, you can give your opinion on different parts of their course, such as:

• content of the course
• acquired skills
• preparation for the professional career
• teachers
• information from the course
• study facilities
• testing and assessment
• timetables
• study load
• study guidance

What is done with the NSE results?

All programmes receive the survey results in the spring. On this basis, work can be done to improve education. The results are also used in informing prospective students so that they can properly compare the studies of their interest, for example via Studiekeuze123.nl. The results are also used to compile the annual outcome of the major Elsevier De Beste Studies survey and also significantly influence the results and display in the annual Keuzegids hbo. Both will be published again this autumn.

What is the NSE?

The National Student Survey (NSE) is a national survey on student satisfaction. Every year, almost all students in Dutch higher education are invited to give their opinion on their course and college or university.
