How does the survey work?

Respondents will be approached via email and text message. Your university of applied sciences will contact you, and you will be asked to fill in a survey. Your background information is extracted from Virta national data repository maintained by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Basic information about your degrees is collected as part of the background data, so the survey does not ask questions related to this separately. Your contact information is collected from the student or alumni register and public sources solely for the purpose of sending the survey, after which it will be deleted.

Responses will be treated confidentially, and no individual respondent can be identified.

The need for the survey is based on the Universities of Applied Sciences Act (932/2014) and Government Decree on Universities of Applied Sciences (1129/2014).
