First year student surveys

The university-wide investigations of first year students are carried out through regular surveys and are aimed at new students at all faculties. The students are asked to answer a number of general questions and a number of faculty-specific questions. The results are presented at the university-wide level and at the faculty level. The survey will be conducted in autumn 2024.

A report with results from the 2015–2021 surveys is available via the contact person above.

The student barometer survey

The aim of the student barometer survey is to capture the students’ experiences of Lund University from different perspectives. The latest student barometer survey was carried out in 2017-2018.

Lund University participates in the International Student Barometer (ISB) survey, which is carried out regularly in collaboration with over 200 higher education institutions around the world. The ISB focuses on international students’ experiences from application to graduation.

Doctoral student and third-cycle education evaluations

Since autumn 2019, a survey has been sent out to all doctoral students in conjunction with their public defences. In the survey, the doctoral students have the opportunity to answer questions on their experiences of third-cycle education at Lund University. The results from the survey are reported annually to the Research Programmes Board.
