To mark the launch of the Student Futures Commission, the UPP Foundation, using Cibyl as a research partner, sent out a survey to 1.5 million students at over 140 institutions to understand their university experience during the pandemic. 2,147 students responded between 14th-19th May 2021. Like the rest of us, students miss face to face community.
Students want universities to prioritise a return to in person teaching and are missing face-to-face interaction around their wider student experience, according to a major new survey.
Student Futures Commission
The key findings:
- The preferences for study structure next year:
- 45% mostly in-person with online teaching once or twice per week.
- 29% fully face to face
- 21% mostly online
- 6% fully online
- The majority of students did not participate in any extracurricular activities this academic year
- 63% believe the pandemic has negatively affected them academically
- 48% do not believe they have missed any aspect of teaching despite disruptions to delivery
- 72% are neutral or satisfied with changes to academic assessments
- 65% believe their course will still help them find a job.
The full data set can be downloaded from the UPP Foundation website.
