What is the NSE?
The National Student Survey is a large-scale national survey on student satisfaction. Each year, students in Dutch higher education are invited to give their views on their degree programme and their university or university of applied sciences
How can I participate?

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, physical and social safety, and campus facilities
Radboud University places great importance on your well-being and your physical and social safety. These are essential conditions for a successful study experience. We would also like to hear your views on campus facilities such as catering services. The NSS includes questions on these topics as well.
How are the NSE results used?
In addition to supporting improvements to education and facilities at programme and university level, the national results are used for study choice information by the National Study Choice Centre and Studiekeuze123.nl. Student evaluations are also used as input for Elsevier’s Best Studies and the Keuzegids (Bachelor’s and Master’s guides).
Where can I find last year’s results (NSE 2025)?
Here you can find the highest-rated study programmes at Radboud University, based on student evaluations from the NSS 2025. This news article provides a summary of last year’s results. In addition, all results—also broken down by faculty and degree programme, and compared with other universities and previous years—can be explored in this interactive dashboard.
On behalf of your study programme and the university, we’d like to thank you for your participation!
