One year of working and studying at home, how do we feel now?

13 / 04 / 2021 | Redactie

For over a year now, working and studying at home have been more the rule than the exception for the UT community. Together with research agency Newcom, U-Today is therefore once again polling the mood among students and employees. How are you doing now? And, with the end of the crisis slowly approaching, what do you expect from the future?

This survey is a follow-up to our June 2020 survey. Like then, this survey is also distributed by independent media at several universities and universities of applied sciences. Questions are again about your well-being, the ups and downs of working and studying from home and your satisfaction with the university.

Look ahead

An important addition to this follow-up survey is the glimpse into the future: what kind of situation do you expect to be in 12 months from now? Do you expect to live further away or closer to home? Will you work or study at home more often? And is digital or hybrid education here to stay?

We kindly invite you to fill in this follow-up survey, even if you did not participate in the first survey. U-Today will publish the results in the course of May.

'Now looking at appropriate local measures'

Exit qualifications and supervision of PhD candidates under the microscope

PhD network P-NUT is currently making an inventory of what PhD candidates require in terms of exit qualifications and the right to confer doctorates, the so-called 'ius promovendi'. The survey anticipates policy changes in both areas.

Eindtermen en begeleiding promoties onder de loep

Promovendinetwerk P-NUT inventariseert momenteel wat promovendi willen op het gebied van eindtermen en het promotierecht, het zogeheten ‘ius promovendi’. De enquête sorteert daarmee voor op beleidswijzigingen op beide vlakken.

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

De tendens in de Nederlandse politiek om de internationaliseringsbeweging in Nederland aan banden te leggen, maakt dat buitenlandse studenten en medewerkers zich minder welkom voelen aan Nederlandse universiteiten. Dit blijkt uit de indicatieve resultaten van een enquête uitgevoerd door zes universitaire nieuwsmedia, waaronder U-Today.
