The University of Warsaw has launched a university-wide student survey on the quality of education, the organisation of studies and the support offered to students. The survey is anonymous, and its results will help the UW better tailor its activities to the needs of the student community. It can be completed until the end of May.

The survey is being conducted by the Dropout Monitoring Team, coordinated by Prof. Agnieszka Jasiewicz-Betkiewicz from the UW’s Faculty of Sociology. It is being carried out under the supervision of the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Quality of Teaching and Learning and the University Council for Education, and is aimed at all students at the University of Warsaw.

“The aim of the survey is to gather opinions and experiences regarding the quality of education, the standard of academic teaching and the way classes are conducted, studying more than one degree programme, combining study with paid work, as well as the support offered by the University of Warsaw during the course of study,” explains Prof. Maciej Raś, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Quality of Teaching and Learning.

The data collected will enable the University, as well as individual faculties, institutes, colleges and teaching centres, to better and more effectively adapt their activities to the needs and expectations of students.

The survey is anonymous, and the results will be presented solely in the form of summary statistics.

Students will receive an email from the UW’s Electronic Survey System (esa@uw.edu.pl) containing a link to the survey.

“We encourage all students to take part and share their views. Every voice counts and helps to improve the quality of education at the University of Warsaw,” adds Prof. Agnieszka Jasiewicz-Betkiewicz.

The survey results will be presented in the autumn during a meeting of the University Council for Education and at workshops aimed at heads of teaching units and teaching councils. Analysis of the collected data will provide a better understanding of students’ experiences, identify challenges related to dropout rates, and enable the UW to adapt its teaching methods and organisational solutions more effectively to the current needs of the student community.
