University of Tampere Survey for Third-year Students 2013

The survey, conducted by the University of Tampere for its third-year students in 2013, examines progress with studies, working during 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. Regarding employment, the respondents were asked whether they had worked during studies, whether they had worked during the academic year 2012-2013, 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"). 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.

由坦佩雷大学于2013年为三年级学生进行的此次调查，旨在探究学生在学业上的进展、学习期间的工作情况、经济状况、学业规划以及海外学习和实习的情况。通过让受访者对一系列与学业和学业进展相关的陈述（例如：“大学学业满足了我的期望”、“我按照自己的计划在学业上取得了进步”）的认同程度进行评估，首次描绘了学业进展的轮廓。通过询问受访者大学在规划学业过程中提供的支持，考察了学业规划的情况。调查了影响学业进展的负面因素。呈现了关于学习环境和学习能力的一些陈述（例如：“学生受到公平且平等对待”、“我获得了足够的信息和支持来规划我的学业”）。通过询问受访者是否计划在海外学习或实习，他们认为哪些途径获得国际经验更有趣，以及他们对海外学习和实习有用性的相关陈述的认同程度（例如：“资助海外学习和实习是困难的”），对海外学习和实习进行了调查。关于奖学金和福利，询问受访者是否使用过学习奖学金，他们认为剩余的资格期限是否足以支撑到毕业，是否曾贷款，以及是否有特定原因避免贷款。关于就业，询问受访者是否在学习期间工作，是否在2012-2013学年度期间工作，以及他们对在学习期间工作的相关陈述的认同程度（例如：“我工作是为了避免贷款”，“工作占用了学习所需的时间”）。最后，询问受访者是否全职或兼职学习，他们申请时最想被录取的教育机构和研究领域，以及他们是否考虑过在另一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、研究领域、学校（学院）、学分数量以及海外实习/学习的时间长度等。
