Student satisfaction

Students at Radboud University are – as in previous years – generally (very) satisfied with various aspects of their programs. On average, they rate their program 3.97 on a scale from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied), the same as last year, and once again higher than the national average.

This is evident from the National Student Survey 2025. In 2025, 7,001 students from Radboud University participated in this nationwide satisfaction survey, representing 29.2% of all Radboud students. This is well above the national average of 25.2% across the 13 universities.

What is the National Student Survey?

The results of the National Student Survey (NSS) are an important source for programs to further improve education. They are also used in key informational materials for prospective students, such as the Keuzegidsen (Choice Guides) and the website of the National Center for Study Choice (LCSK).
