Results of the National Student Survey: Lecturers highly rated
The results of the National Student Survey (NSE) are now available. In 2024, students from the Faculty of Humanities were satisfied across the board. The expertise of lecturers was rated particularly positively.
Every year, students are asked to assess their studies in the National Student Survey (NSE). The findings from this survey are used to improve courses and to help prospective students make an informed choice. This year, 2,521 students from the Faculty of Humanities completed the survey. This represents 34% of the faculty’s total student population.
High scores
Students gave their programme an average score of 3.92 out of 5. The specialist knowledge, teaching skills, and commitment of lecturers scored even higher at 3.97. On the theme of involvement, the faculty scored above the university average.

- In the new Humanities Hub, students can develop digital skills preparing them for their future work field, such as creating podcasts and videos.
- At the Religious Studies programme, the coursepractising religious studies has commenced, involving external stakeholders.
- At International Studies and Japan studies 'practice' courses have been launched, focusing on collaboration and project-based work.
- In line with university policy, 13 cross-disciplinary skills are being broadly implemented and made visible in course descriptions in the Prospectus.
