Studiebarometeret

Studiebarometeret –the national student survey on the quality of study programs is carried out by NOKUT and commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research. Your response gives the institution an opportunity to improve the quality of your education. 

Why are you being asked to participate? 

Studiebarometeret is a survey among all the students in the 2nd and 5th year of study, almost 65.000 students. Your institution has allowed us to retrieve direct personally identifiable information (email address and phone number) and indirectly identifiable information (study program, gender, age, admission basis, exam results and citizenship) about you.

What does participation entail for you?

You participate in the survey by filling out a web questionnaire, which takes about 10-12 minutes to complete. All respondents have the chance to win either one of five gift cards with a value of 5000 NOK, or one of 25 gift cards with a value of 1000 NOK.

Participation is voluntary

Participation in the survey is voluntary. You may at any time and without reason require us to remove all information about you.

Your personal privacy – how we store and use your personal data 

We will process your personal data confidentially and in accordance with data protection legislation. We will not publish data that makes it possible to identify respondents. The institutions provide NOKUT with background data on all students, based on a legal commitment. This also applies to those who do not participate. The purpose is to investigate whether the answers we receive are representative of the student population, which is very important for us to be able to interpret the results. It is possible to opt out of this by sending an e-mail to res-studiebarometeret@nokut.no. Background information for those who do not participate in the survey will be deleted by February 2019.
