Thank you for the time and contribution you make by participating in our surveys! For which surveys do we regularly ask for your participation? Here you will find everything at a glance!

Right in the middle – The course evaluation

The course evaluation gives you the opportunity to give your personal feedback to the teachers.

Objective: Systematic feedback for teachers for quality assurance and further development of the course.

Who? All students of the evaluated course

When and how? Anonymously and voluntarily. Depending on the department and field of study, every semester or every third semester.

All about studying – The TU Student Survey

The CHE University Ranking - Orientation for the Next Generation of Students

Where can I study my desired degree programme? Which university offers the best study conditions for my degree programme? These and other questions are on the minds of many students before they decide on a degree programme and place of study.

The CHE University Ranking, which is compiled nationwide, provides assistance. It is based on feedback from over 120,000 students about the study conditions at their university and facts about studying, teaching, facilities and research in around 40 subjects.

The survey is conducted annually and focuses on different subjects each time in order to keep the survey burden low.
