They usually use a combination of public or institutional data and/or peer or student surveys.

The universities contribute to the exercise by completing the institutional questionnaires and helping with the logistics of the student survey.

however, that student surveys can give valid and reliable information in a European context. One of the questions that we will return to later on in this report is whether a student survey about 10 http://www. eurostudent. eu:

Instead, the quality of the learning experience is reflected in the student satisfaction indicators included in Table 3-1. These indicators can be based on a student survey carried out among a sample of students from Business studies and Engineering.

Student survey 4. 3. 2for measuring student satisfaction (see section 3. 3. 1), the main instrument is an online student survey.

In order to assure that students are pressured not by their institution/teachers to rate their own institution favorably,

In relation to the student survey, the delimitation of the sample is important. As students were asked to rate their own institution and programme,

The student survey was pretested on a sample of over 80 students. In general, their comments were very positive.

but not to participate in the student survey as they did not want it to compete with their own surveys or effect participation in national surveys.

the collection of self-reported data from the institutions involved in the study (including the student survey) and the collection of data on these same institutions from existing international databases on publications/citations and patents.

There are some international student surveys (such as‘Eurostudent) 'but these usually focus on general aspects of student life and their socioeconomic situation.

In Chapter 8 (8. 2) we will discuss the flexibility of our approach to a global scale student survey.

The data collection through the student survey was organized by the participating institutions. They were asked to send invitation letters to their students,

No institution indicated that it did not participate in the student survey because of the cost of inviting the students.

problems with regard to the feasibility of individual indicators from the student survey. General aspects of feasibility of a global student survey are discussed in section 6. 3. Research 6. 2. 2indicators on research include bibliometric indicators (institutional

and field-based) as well as indicators derived from institutional and field-based surveys. In general the feasibility of the research indicators,

In some countries the U multirank student survey conflicted with existing national surveys, which in some cases are highly relevant for institutions.

the time window to organize a student survey across all institutions has to be at least six months

and data quality this problem will be mitigated. 135 Student survey data 6. 3. 2one of the major challenges regarding the feasibility of our global student survey is

and thus that the feasibility of the data collection through a global-level student survey is sufficiently feasible.

for instance a student survey is much more expensive if universities have no e-mail-addresses of their students,
