Why is it important that I fill in the NSE?
Your opinion is important for your study programme and Radboud University because it will help us to further improve the quality of our education and facilities for current and future students. The more students give their opinions, the more representative the results will be.
Extra focus on wellbeing and social safety
Radboud University places great importance on your wellbeing and social safety. These are essential prerequisites for successful studies. In the NSE, you can also share your opinion on these topics.
How are the NSE results used?
In addition to the above-mentioned improvements to Radboud University’s education and facilities, the national results are used by the Landelijk Centrum Studiekeuze to help prospective students to choose a study programme while the student opinions also serve as a source for the Elsevier Best Studies Ranking and the Keuzegids.
