The results of Uniarts Helsinki’s feedback surveys have been published

The results of the Uniarts course feedback, the rector’s feedback survey, The Finnish Bachelor’s Graduate Survey and the Master’s and Doctoral degree career monitoring surveys have been published.

Results of the surveys

The results show that students at the University of the Arts Helsinki are satisfied with their studies and the degree they have obtained. Attention needs to be paid to the well-being of students. Students would like to see improvements in e-learning environments. 

Course feedback 2023

The results of the survey show that students at Uniarts are generally satisfied with the courses they have taken. The overall assessment of the courses received the highest marks, while the lowest marks were given for personal activity.

Rector’s Feedback Survey 2024

Students are generally positive about undergraduate and doctoral education. However, attention is drawn to student well-being and the experience of discrimination and inappropriate treatment, which require further attention and improvement. There was a desire for more work on ecological issues in the curriculum. Some respondents feel that digital learning environments are too diverse and would like to see them better used, e.g. to support independent learning. Uniarts has added new questions to the questionnaire on the workload, timing, and scheduling of courses. The results show that students are quite satisfied with these aspects.

Bachelor’s Graduate Survey 2023

Student feedback reveals that student satisfaction with university studies is high on average. E-learning environments and entrepreneurship skills need improvement. Student well-being also continues to emerge as an area for improvement.

Master’s degree career monitoring survey 2023

The results show that most alumni recommend their degree to others. In terms of career satisfaction, the University of the Arts Helsinki remains at a national level, although certain skills need to be developed, such as collaboration, self-direction/self-initiative, creativity, stress tolerance and the ability to learn and absorb new skills.

Doctoral degree career monitoring survey 2023

Doctoral degree career monitoring results are very good, with most graduates satisfied with their degree in terms of career prospects. In terms of skills, the main areas for development include strengthening business, language, and negotiation skills, working in a multicultural environment and stress tolerance.

At the University of the Arts, course feedback is collected on teaching, learning, and teaching arrangements. Course feedback is collected through the Tuudo system using a standardized feedback form for all courses. The common course feedback was introduced during 2022.

The Rector’s feedback survey collects information on Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral students’ experiences and perceptions of teaching, services, leadership, atmosphere, equality and equity, and inappropriate behaviour. The survey is conducted every two years.

The Finnish Bachelor’s Graduate Survey is a national student feedback survey that examines students’ satisfaction with their university and studying experience. The feedback is part of the university funding model: the results and response rates influence the amount of funding a university receives.

The Master’s and Doctoral degree career monitoring surveys collect information on the quality and appropriateness of placement in the labour market, career development and satisfaction with the degree obtained. The Master’s Career Monitoring Survey is part of the university funding model: results and response rates affect the funding received by the university.
