Elsevier research: ‘Best study programmes 2020'

In this year's Elsevier study 'Best study programmes 2020' guide, we are ranked 6th in the category specialist universities of applied sciences. Elsevier has been using the National Student Survey (NSE) as the basis for this guide since its first edition. However, as a result of the coronavirus, the survey was not carried out in 2020. The satisfaction scores for universities of applied sciences have been calculated based on NSE results up to 2018. The students' opinions have been divided into 6 sections in the guide: facilities, study programme design, teaching, lecturers, examinations, organisation and communication. This leads to a total score per academic institution.
