University of Tampere Survey for Third-year Students 2011

The survey, conducted by the University of Tampere for its third-year students in 2011, examines, among others, progress with studies, minor subjects, working during studies, financial circumstances, planning of studies, and studies and internship abroad. Studies were first charted by asking the respondents which educational institution and field of study they had primarily wanted to be accepted into when they had applied, whether they studied part time or full time, and 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 studied with questions about support received from the university when planning studies and own initiative in searching for information supporting planning. Things that had negatively affected progress of studies were charted. With regard to minor subjects, a number of statements were presented (e.g. "I choose my minor subject(s) based on my own interests", "Recommendations from other students have an effect on my choices"). Studies and internships abroad were surveyed by asking the respondents whether they had or were going to study or do an internship abroad 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 how much, and whether they had avoided taking a student loan for some reason. Regarding employment, the respondents were asked whether they had worked during studies, whether they had worked during the academic year 2010-2011, which field and sector they had worked in, and to what extent they agreed with several statements related to working during studies (e.g. "I work because I want to avoid taking a student loan", "Working takes up time needed for studies", "I don't work because I want to graduate as soon as possible"). The respondents were also asked whether they had considered continuing studying after graduation. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's age, gender, field of study, school (faculty), number of credits, and length of internship/studies abroad.

2011年，坦佩雷大学为其三年级学生进行的调查，旨在考察包括但不限于学业进展、辅修课程、学习期间的工作情况、经济状况、学业规划以及海外学业与实习等方面的内容。调查首先通过询问受访者他们在申请时所期望被录取的教育机构和研究领域，他们是否为兼职或全职学习，以及他们对与学业和学业进展相关的若干陈述的认同程度（例如：“大学学业符合我的期望”，“我的学业进展符合我的计划”）来描绘学业情况。学业规划通过询问受访者大学在学业规划方面提供的支持以及他们在寻找支持规划信息方面的自主性进行研究。调查还记录了影响学业进展的负面因素。关于辅修课程，调查提出了若干陈述（例如：“我选择辅修课程是基于我的个人兴趣”，“其他学生的推荐对我的选择有影响”）。通过询问受访者是否曾在海外学习或实习，以及他们对海外学业和实习的有用性的认同程度（例如：“为海外学业/实习提供资金是困难的”）来调查海外学业与实习。关于奖学金和福利，调查询问受访者是否使用过学业奖学金，他们认为剩余的财务援助资格期限是否足以支持他们毕业，他们是否已经贷款以及贷款金额，以及他们是否因为某些原因避免贷款。关于就业，调查询问受访者是否在学习期间工作，他们是否在2010-2011学年期间工作，他们在哪个领域和行业工作，以及他们对学习期间工作的若干陈述的认同程度（例如：“我工作是为了避免贷款”，“工作占用了学习所需的时间”，“我不想工作是因为我想尽快毕业”）。受访者还被询问是否考虑在毕业后继续学习。背景变量包括受访者的年龄、性别、研究领域、学校（学院）、学分数量以及海外实习/学习的时长等。
