The evaluation of the consecutive, non-teaching Master's programs has been a regular component of quality management at Freie Universität Berlin since 2013. Here you can find the reports (in German only).

When is the survey conducted?

The Master’s Survey is conducted on a four-year cycle and alternates with the Bachelor’s Survey. This means that a survey takes place every two years during the summer semester, as shown in the figure below.

What is covered by the questionnaire?

The questionnaire focuses on assessments of the design of the study program and the support services offered. Both aspects are key factors influencing the program´s manageability and students’ overall satisfaction and thus decisive starting points for the quality assurance in the study. The questionnaire also contains open-ended questions to give students the opportunity to present their assessment of certain aspects in a more differentiated manner.

In particular, data are collected on the following aspects:student satisfaction with the study programs and study conditions

• assessment of the structure and organization of the study programs as well as their studyability
• Assessment of teaching quality
• Study behavior and study experiences, identification of delays in studies
• Individual study requirements and students’ living conditions
