Assessment of International Students Language Skills' Needs by UEF Language Centre

Dear international student,

This survey was created by the UEF Language Centre, and it is aimed at current international master’s and doctoral degree students at University of Eastern Finland. Your opinion will help us to assess the students' language skills needs, improve our currently offered services and possibly create new ways to help international students to achieve their academic and professional goals.

The survey has 20 questions, and it takes about 5-10 minutes to be completed. The survey is anonymous unless you wish to leave your contact information at the end of the questionnaire for further discussion if you have ideas on how to improve the Language Centre services. In that case, there will be a draw of two 20 € S-Group gift cards among these students.

The data usage and storage conform with the University of Eastern Finland data protection rules. The data collected will be stored for a maximum of five years.

The survey will be open until May 20th.

Thanks in advance for participating and for helping us develop our teaching to meet your needs.

If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns regarding this survey, please contact daniferr@uef.fi.

Participate in study and you can win noice-cancelling headphones! 

We want to investigate the effects of the special arrangements during the coronavirus epidemic on the studies of university students. How have the remote studies during the special arrangements affected learning and the organisation of studies? Have the special arrangements affected getting a job or an internship?

The aim of the studies is to survey experiences during the course of last few years. A lot of studies have already been done on the effects of the coronavirus epidemic, but this study wants to deepen the understanding of the skills gap and learning loss that have not been surveyed from this perspective yet. Tell us about your experiences!

By answering the study, you enter in a raffle to win noise-cancelling headphones! The survey is open until 10 May and takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Both new students and those who have studied for a longer time are welcome to answer! Your responses are valuable and will contribute to fact-based advocacy.
