Express your opinion
Are you satisfied with your current study conditions, or would you like to change something? Then take the opportunity to give feedback on your study situation and on the development potential of the degree programmes and the service facilities.
Active participation in quality assurance:
The larger the participation, the more representative the results. Every voice counts. Only if enough students express their opinion analyses can be made for the departments and degree programmes.
Improvement:
The results are used at the TU Darmstadt to further develop studying and teaching and the study conditions.

FAQ on data protection
The implementation of the TU student survey is accompanied by the official data protection officer of the TU Darmstadt as a permanent steering committee member.
To participate in the survey, you will receive a randomly assigned TAN. This cannot be assigned to any person at any time. Survey results are therefore only available in anonymised form.
Names mentioned by students in will be removed.
Analyses are never carried out based on individual data sets, but exclusively at the level of aggregated data. Only a look at the answers of many students gives an overall picture that is independent of individual opinions.
If the number of cases is too small and allows conclusions to be drawn about individuals (age, gender, degree programme) the survey results will not be analysed. E.g., this could be the case with small degree programmes.
The email addresses are only accessible to the HDA employees involved in the project for the purpose of inviting them to the survey and will be deleted after the survey has been completed in accordance with data protection regulations.
Participation in the survey is voluntary. If you do not wish to participate in the survey, you will not suffer any disadvantages.
It is not possible to draw conclusions about which students participated in the survey.
Raw data is generally not passed on. Central institutions of the TU Darmstadt, departments and study areas can request special analyses from the HDA if required (e.g. on specific groups or issues.
