The students' well-being at a good level at Hanken
At the end of the year, 2 376 bachelor's, master's, EMBA and doctoral students were asked to answer a questionnaire regarding information about their well-being and the need for additional support services. The responses show that a majority are satisfied with the teaching this autumn, found the information they needed for the studies, and were able to study according to plan.
The views on in-class teaching clearly splits the opinions. 45% would like to return to the classrooms, while 31% would like to continue studying remotely. Students at master's level are more satisfied with remote teaching than students at bachelor's level, and the bachelor students are also clearly more eager to return to in-class teaching.
- There are different reasons why you want or do not want to return to the classrooms. Especially for students at master's level, it is in many cases a practical issue, as remote teaching is easier to combine with work, parenting or living in another city, says Tove Ahlskog-Pursiainen, Quality Manager at Hanken.
- Finding a working balance between in-class and remote teaching is part of future teaching planning. Remote alternatives will certainly be offered for certain support services also in the future, she continues.
Fortunately the feeling of loneliness among the students has decreased somewhat compared to the corresponding survey sent out in February 2021. Still, it is especially students who do not have Swedish or Finnish as their native language who feel lonely, which is probably due to the fact that it can be more difficult to establish social networks in these circumstances.
Hanken offers various forms of support services to counteract loneliness and ensure the study success of all Hanken students. Here you will find information about:
• The study coach, the study psychologist, the psychotherapist and the student pastor Opens in new window
• Support students Opens in new window
• Study counselling Opens in new window
• Counselling regarding exchange studies Opens in new window
In total, as many as 50.4 percent or 1196 respondents responded to the survey. This was the second time that all students, regardless of study level, were asked about their well-being and academic success. The next survey is planned for the end of April.
