About the Universum Student Survey | US Edition
METHODOLOGY
THE QUESTIONNAIRE
 Created based on 25 years of experience, extensive
research within HR, focus groups and communication with
both our clients and students.
 Global perspective - local insight.
329
Educational institutions
DATA COLLECTION
Based on an online survey, distributed via university
contacts, the Universum Panel and local partners.
WEIGHTING
To provide our clients with more reliable data, we set targets
per main field of study and school to reflect the actual
distribution of students. Weighting is used to compensate for
discrepancies from targets.
Only data based on all students or on all students within a
field of study is weighted. Breakdowns like gender, high
achievers, and other more specific groups are not weighted.
NOTE: COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
In the 2014 US Student Survey, the main field of study IT
was renamed Computer Science, and the areas of study
within Computer Science and Engineering were
reorganized. Computer Science captures all former IT
students and computing-related majors; Engineering
captures more physical engineering disciplines.
Neither group is directly comparable to previous years, but
historical data has been included in this report.
