Questionnaire Academic Advisors 2021

The academic advisors are interested to know how you evaluate student guidance at the School of Business and Economics and whom you contact for questions with regard to your study progress.

By student guidance we mean one-on-one-guidance from the academic advisor.

The questions refer to the time you have been a student of the School of Business and Economics. The questionnaire is of course anonymous

The questionnaire consists of 2 parts. The first part takes about 10 minutes, the second part is optional and also takes about 10 minutes to fill out.

We hope you are willing to participate in this questionnaire so we can improve our service to students.

In case you have questions about this questionnaire, please don't hesitate to contact us.
