EUROSTUDENT Conventions
Summary of central EUROSTUDENT conventions
The survey is restricted to students who are
- studying courses at the ISCED level 5A
- national or permanent resident students.
The survey does include all students enrolled at higher education institutions studying at ISCED level 5A. This comprises both students studying their first degree and those studying their second degree or continuing programmes (e.g. master students). Students in study programmes of ISCED level 5B (practically oriented/occupationally specific) and ISCED level 6 (doctorate students) are not included.
Who can join the EUROSTUDENT survey?
The EUROSTUDENT Network is open to all European countries. However, participation in the EUROSTUDENT project is dependent on the adoption of the EUROSTUDENT core questions and central data conventions.
