The NSE is a returning, national survey in which 270,000 students throughout the Netherlands give their opinion on their degree programme. The results of this survey indicate to the University of Amsterdam where improvement can be made. Previous NSE results have, for example, resulted in publishing course evaluations for students to see and adding additional career preparation to the curriculum of several degree programmes. In addition, the survey results are used to inform future students and to create national rankings.

Starting from 21 January you will receive an invitation to participate by email from Studiekeuze123. You can fill in the survey up to and including 10 March. This year the survey has been shortened, and will only take you roughly 15 minutes to fill in. By doing so you will join the Studiekeuze123 raffle and can win the following prizes:

• 1 x Apple MacBook Air (worth €1,199)
• 4 x Sony noise cancelling headphones (worth €380)
• 3x Logitech mouse and keyboard (worth €218)
• 400 x Bol.com voucher (worth €25)

If more students participate in the NSE, their degree programma and the University of Amsterdam get a better picture of what students already appreciate and what can be improved. The UvA in turn can take action to make sure its degree programmes and facilities are even better suited to your wishes. Will you let us know what you think? Please fill in the survey through the Studiekeuze123 invitation in your mailbox!
