University of Tampere Survey for Third-year Students 2015

The survey, conducted by the University of Tampere for its third-year students in 2015, 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. "I plan to graduate as quickly as possible", "I have progressed in my studies according to my plans"). 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"). Regarding electronic services, the respondents were asked where they would prefer getting their study related information from, and how the electronic services at the University of Tampere could be improved. Furthermore, the respondents were asked which ways of gaining international experience they found interesting. Finally, the respondents were asked whether they studied full-time or part-time. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's age, gender, field of study, school (faculty), number of credits, and length of internship/studies abroad.
