Survey: How are you doing since the corona crisis?

22 / 06 / 2020 | Redactie

Working from home and online education. It's the norm within higher education, since the outbreak of the corona crisis. We are now three months down the line and the strict measures are slowly being relaxed. Still, we can't just go back to campus. U-Today would like to know how students and staff feel about the current situation. Does it make you sluggish, or do you thrive under the circumstances?

Together with research agency Newcom Research & Consultancy, we therefore developed a survey, which will be distributed at several universities and universities of applied sciences by the independent media. In addition to questions about your mental wellbeing, we are also curious about your working and studying from home experiences. What were the positive and negative aspects? How did the communication with your supervisor or teacher go? But also: what do you miss most about our campus?

In these unique times, we are very curious about your experiences. We cordially invite you to fill in this survey. U-Today will publish the results in the first week of July.

Discourse in Dutch Politics makes internationals feel less welcome

The push in Dutch politics to restrict the internationalisation movement in The Netherlands causes foreign students and staff members to feel less welcome at Dutch universities. This is evident from the indicative results of a survey conducted by six university news media, including U-Today.

Politiek discours zorgt dat internationals zich minder welkom voelen
