Sisällön kuvaus

The data were collected for the cross-European EUROSTUDENT V study, forming the Finnish part of the survey. Themes surveyed included economic circumstances and time use of students, progress in studies, international mobility, and future expectations and plans.

The respondents were asked whether they planned to study more after completing their programme, and what level degree they planned to complete. Satisfaction with a number of things in own studies was examined (e.g. quality of teaching). Expectations and plans after graduation were charted. Educational background was examined as well as breaks during studies and paid work done before starting higher education. Living conditions were studied with questions on housing, distance to institution, and income and expenses. Time use was investigated by asking about paid work done during the semester, factors affecting progress of studies, time spent on studying per week, and whether the respondents had progressed in studies as planned.

International mobility was charted by asking about study periods abroad and other issues related to study abroad (funding, arrangements, obstacles).

Background variables included, among others, the respondent's age (categorised), gender, the respondent's and his/her parents' country of birth (categorised), language skills, study status (part-time or full-time student), and language of study as well as number of children. Parents' education level, occupation and social standing were also surveyed.

Finnish and foreign students (including students in adult education) studying for ISCED 2011 5, 6 and 7 level degrees in Finnish universities, universities of applied sciences (polytechnics) and other higher education institutions during the academic year 2012-2013

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Stratified: Disproportional

Statistics Finland register data on students as well as student registers of educational institutions (email addresses) were used in sampling. The institutions delivered the contact details of all students that were listed as attending students as of 20 September 2012 to Statistics Finland, where they were combined with the register data.

The samples were thus drawn based on information on the attending students in the educational institutions, register data derived from the educational institution statistics, and the address information in the Finnish Population Information System. The sample was divided into five strata: Finnish university students, foreign university students, postgraduates, Finnish university of applied sciences (polytechnics) students, and foreign university of applied sciences students. In order to receive reliable data on foreign students and postgraduates, as their numbers were much smaller, oversampling was used for these two groups. Cluster sampling was not used.

The information delivered by higher education institutions on students studying for ISCED 2011 level 5-8 degrees eventually covered a total of 245,000 students. 19,809 students were selected for the sample. Out of these, 4,741 were Finnish university students, 3,909 foreign university students, 4,110 university of applied sciences students, and 3,625 foreign university of applied sciences students. In addition, 3,425 postgraduates were selected, who, as per the instructions of the Eurostudent consortium, are not included in the international data or in this archived dataset. Weighting corrects the results to be representative of the population.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The data does not include questions 7.1 - 7.6 which were aimed at postgraduates. Variable 1.4a ("Choose the university of applied sciences in which you study out of the following"/"Choose the university in which you study out of the following") was also removed from the data. Variables containing information on the municipality of study, bv1 (Region of study) and bv2 (Major region of study), were coarsened, as well as the municipalities in Q2_2. In addition, all open-ended responses were removed with the exception of question 4_7 regarding destinations of a possible future exchange or internship. In Q4_3_2, the respondents' destinations of a past exchange period or internship were removed to prevent identification.

Painokertoimet

There are two weight variables in the data, sampling weight (paino1) and scaled weight (paino2). The weighting is based on calibration. Weights were separately calculated for each of the five strata. Base weights used in calibration for each strata were calculated by dividing the frame population by the number of responses. Marginal distributions used in calibration were the frame population frequencies of fields of education, age groups, and gender distibution of students in each institution. Because the equivalent variables were available for the respondents, calibrating the weights was possible by using the CALMAR software developed by the National Institute for Statistic and Economic Studies (France). Some categories were combined. The results of the survey are weighted (institution, field of education, gender, age) to be representative of degree students in universities and universities of applied sciences. The values of weight variables are higher for groups that had above-average non-response. Foreign students were overrepresented in the sample and the values of weight variables are thus lower for them. For Finnish students, the average weight variable is 85 (meaning that one respondent represents this number of students), and variation between the weight variables is between 11 and 256. Average weight variable for foreign students is 18 and variation between the variables is 2-75.
