University of Tampere Survey for Third-year Students 2014

The survey, conducted by the University of Tampere for its third-year students in 2013, examines progress with studies, financial circumstances, planning of studies, and studies and internship abroad. Studies were first charted by asking the respondents to what extent they agreed with a number of statements relating to studies and study progress (e.g. "University studies have met my expectations", "I have progressed in my studies according to my plans"). Planning of studies was examined with questions about support received from the university when planning studies. Things that had negatively affected the progress of studies were charted. Several statements about study environment and ability to study were presented (e.g. "Students are treated fairly and equally", "I have received enough information and support to plan my studies"). Studies and internships abroad were surveyed by asking the respondents whether they were going to study or do an internship abroad, which ways of gaining international experience they found interesting, and to what extent they agreed with statements relating to the usefulness of studies and internship abroad (e.g. "Funding studies/internship abroad is difficult"). Relating to grants and benefits, the respondents were asked whether they had used study grant, whether they thought the remaining eligibility period for financial aid would suffice until graduation, whether they had taken a student loan, and whether they had avoided taking a student loan for some reason. Finally, the respondents were asked whether they studied full-time or part-time, which educational institution and field of study they had primarily wanted to be accepted into when they had applied, and whether they had considered doing their Master's in another field or university. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's age, gender, field of study, school (faculty), number of credits, and length of internship/studies abroad.

这项调查由坦佩雷大学（University of Tampere）于2013年针对其三年级学生开展，旨在考察学业进展、经济状况、学业规划以及海外学习与实习情况。学业方面，首先通过询问受访者对若干与学业及学业进展相关陈述的认同程度进行记录（例如：“大学学业符合我的预期”、“我的学业进展符合计划”）。学业规划方面，通过询问受访者在规划学业时从大学获得的支持情况进行考察。此外，还记录了对学业进展产生负面影响的因素。调查还列出了若干关于学习环境与学习能力的陈述（例如：“学生受到公平平等的对待”、“我获得了足够的信息和支持来规划学业”）。海外学习与实习方面，通过以下问题进行调查：受访者是否计划赴海外学习或实习、他们认为哪些获取国际经验的方式有趣，以及对海外学习与实习有用性相关陈述的认同程度（例如：“海外学习/实习的资金支持难以获得”）。在助学金与福利方面，受访者被问及是否使用过助学金、认为助学金剩余资格期限是否足以支撑至毕业、是否申请过学生贷款，以及是否因某种原因避免申请学生贷款。最后，受访者还被问及是否为全日制或非全日制学习、申请时最初希望被录取的教育机构及专业领域，以及是否考虑过在其他领域或大学攻读硕士学位。背景变量包括受访者的年龄、性别、专业领域、学院（faculty）、学分数量以及海外实习/学习时长等。
