4. We need your feedback
IBS is what our students make it, your feedback directly impacts on our choices for
your education, help us, help you. Continually improving the programme(s) for the
benefit of our students is part of our IBS core values therefore throughout the
academic year we will routinely ask for your feedback - what is going well, what is not
going so well and what could be improved. Help us, help you.

4.1. Surveys

                         After the introduction week and again after each block/period you will receive
                         an email from us with a link to a short online survey. We ask you to provide
                         us constructive feedback - the survey contains a general part (level of the
                         block, workload, atmosphere, etc.) and questions related to each of your
                         courses. The survey results will help for a more in-depth/focused
                         conversation in the panel sessions, see 4.2.

4.2. Panel sessions

Are you one of the people to best represent your fellow students? If
so, please make sure to inform your Academic Advisor at the
beginning of the year that you would like to be a class representative.
Your Head of Education and/or the programme coordinator will have
an open conversation with the class representatives after each block.

4.3. National Student Enquête/Survey (NSE)

                                        During the National Student Survey (expected March 2022)
                                        you will be able to rate your overall programme, IBS, Hanze
                                        UAS, facilities and location. The outcome will give an indication
                                        of overall student satisfaction and contribution to national
                                        rankings of universities and programmes. Your feedback helps
                                        to maintain and improve quality of Hanze education.

4.4. School Representation Council (SRC)

The university has representation councils at various levels of the organisation. These provide staff
and students the opportunity to think and decide about education and education-related matters at
Hanze UAS. At Hanze UAS, you can be representative in the Boards of Studies (BoS), the school
representation council (SRC) or the Hanze Representation Council (HMR). You can find more
information about the school representation, nomination and the elections if you are logged in with
your Hanze-account.
