The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) will conduct an extensive survey for higher education students in March and April. An invitation to the survey will be sent to 12,000 randomly selected students.
The Finnish Student Health and Wellbeing Survey (KOTT) External link produces information on the welfare of students. The survey involves collecting data on matters such as health, lifestyles, ability to study, social relationships, living conditions, balancing studies with family life, and the use of student health care services. The data is used to develop student services.
Each response is important
Invitations will be emailed to students in March. Each recipient represents their age group and field of education. Individual respondents cannot be replaced by anyone else. This makes it important that every person who received an invitation participates in the survey.
You can respond to the survey online in Finnish, Swedish or English.
The survey also involves the Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS), the Social Insurance Institution Kela, student unions SYL and SAMOK, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Research Foundation for Studies and Education Otus sr, the Rectors’ Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences Arene, the Council of Rectors of Finnish Universities Unifi ry and Statistics Finland.
