UU Student Barometer

The Student Barometer is a recurring survey that is aimed at all students on Bachelor and Master level at Uppsala University.

The overall aim of the survey is to get a picture of the students’ perceptions of their learning and their study environment. The results can be used as basis for continued work with quality development of the university’s courses and programmes, and as one of several basis for self-evaluation work in connection with reviews of study programmes.

• Analysis report with comparisons over time (in Swedish with a Summary of Findings in English)

Study programme/subject-specific results reports are available for programmes/subjects (main fields of study) with 10 or more respondents. Result reports are available on the web (login via Uppsala University’s common web login).

The survey was web-based, and links were sent to the email address that the students provided in Ladok. It was possible to reply to the survey in Swedish or in English, and it was open for about five weeks in Nov-Dec 2024.

The survey questionnaire is designed at the university, and the question areas largely correspond to the eleven aspects in Uppsala University’s guidelines for study programme reviews. The questionnaire has been discussed in several forums, for example with representatives of disciplinary domains/faculties, study programme representatives (senior faculty administrators, directors of studies, programme coordinators, teacher representatives), and student representatives.
