The Danish Student Survey is an important tool to help the university provide a good environment for learning and study to all students – and it is used in the ongoing work to maintain and improve the study and teaching environment on individual degree programmes. The 2023 Danish Student Survey will ask about your academic and social well-being, teaching outcomes, experiences with stress and loneliness, sexism and much more.

The results of the Danish Student Survey 2023 will also form the basis of AU's own assessment of the teaching environment, which is carried out every 3 years (last time in 2020). The purpose of this assessment is to review the university's psychological, physical and aesthetic teaching environment and to draw up action plans at faculty and degree programme level.

The results of the Danish Student Survey are also used by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science in relation to:

• The Learning Questionnaire (Læringsbarometer) (which uncovers the students' perception of their degree programme learning environment and their own approach to learning)
• "Uddannelseszoom" (online guidance tool for coming students)
• Well-being (under the auspices of the ministry's Trivselskontor)

• Monday 23 October: You will receive the questionnaire in your e-Boks.
• Wednesday 25 October: You will receive the questionnaire in your AU inbox.
• October – November: You will receive a series of reminders in your e-Boks, your AU inbox and by text message.
• Tuesday 28 November: Deadline for replying to the questionnaire.
• The results will be available in spring 2024

The Danish Student Survey the title that the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science uses as a general term for:

• the Learning Questionnaire (which covers students’ experiences of the learning environment on their degree programmes and their own approaches to learning)
• Degree Programme Zoom (an online tool to compare degree programmes)

The Danish Student Survey was carried out for the first time in 2020 - again in 2021 - and will be carried every other year (next time in 2023). Every three years (last time in 2020), data from the survey is used as the basis for AU's own assessment of the teaching environment to review the university's psychological, physical and aesthetic teaching environment. The scope of the questionnaire therefore varies from year to year, depending on what AU will use the results for.

Since the introduction of the Education Environment Act in 2004, all Danish universities are legally committed to make this type of study.

From 2007 to 2017, AU carried out its own study environment survey every three years. In autumn 2020, AU's own survey was integrated into the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science's national survey the Danish Student Survey for the first time. This survey was conducted again in 2021 and will from now on be conducted every two years - next time in 2023.
