Student polls

Thank you for your participation in the Summer and Winter Semester Student Evaluation Survey.

Your answers regarding the study programmes, educational process, teachers and courses have been forwarded to the management of the TUKE faculties.

The most frequent comments made by students in the 2022/2023 Summer and Winter Semester Student Evaluation Survey under the competence of the University:

• quality and prices in TUKE catering facilities,
• quality of parking in the student car park,
• lack of bicycle storage space on the TUKE campus,
• lack of towels, soap and mirrors in toilets.

In June 2022, a questionnaire was prepared by the Access Centre of TUKE (AC TUKE), the aim of which was to find out the current state of support and satisfaction of students with specific needs with the AC TUKE services provided to them during their studies at the Technical University of Košice, also to reveal weaknesses and strengths and, based on the results, to formulate recommendations for improving the support of students with specific needs. The questionnaire was sent to all students with specific needs who are registered at AC TUKE (58 students in total). The questionnaire was completed by 11 respondents who used AC TUKE services. The experience of study support from AC TUKE was rated as excellent by 5 students, very good by 5 students and good by 1 student, with no negative experiences of AC TUKE services recorded by students. Respondents highlighted the willingness and ability of AC TUKE staff to resolve problems as they arose.

On 26 March 2019, the TUKE management met with members of the student part of the TUKE Academic Senate, heads of the student parts of the academic senates of TUKE faculties and heads of student councils of dormitories. The aim of this meeting was to create a direct communication channel between the TUKE management and student representatives as well as to strengthen mutual trust. During three hours, the student representatives together with the management discussed the evaluation of the student survey, which was available in the MAIS information system during the last winter semester, and the problems that bother the students. The topics discussed focused mainly on dormitories and their renovation, the quality of food and the provision of food subsidies, the increase in international students and hygiene. During the meeting, the students also discussed with the university management other issues that were bothering the students of the various faculties and dormitories, and in an active discussion, the management tried to provide immediate solutions to specific problems. The meeting had a positive response from the management and students alike and therefore the management of the Technical University of Košice decided to organize further discussions with the students.

Dear students, fill in the survey and help us to improve the quality of teaching at TUKE!

The sole purpose of this survey is to improve the quality of teaching at TUKE – to correct what hinders you in your learning and to support what helps you. We are interested in the majority opinion, so it is important that as many of you as possible take part in the survey. With low participation, the information gathered does not reflect the true views of students.

Please add your opinion to those of others. Have your say about the courses, the University and yourself by answering the questions offered by the survey. We look forward to hearing your answers!

Pursuant to §70 (1) (h) of Act No 131/2002 Coll.On Higher Education and on Amendments and Additions to Certain Acts, as amended, a student has the right to express his/her opinion about the quality of teaching and teachers at least once a year in the form of an anonymous questionnaire. At TUKE this opportunity has been offered since the academic year 2006/2007 in the form of university­-wide student surveys twice a year.

The current survey is accessible to every student after logging into the academic information system MAIS. Logging in is required for each student to vote only once. The management of TUKE guarantees anonymity when voting. The system does not record the link between the student’s studies and the completed questionnaire. The protection of personal and confidential data is the responsibility of specific authorised TUKE staff. The current survey evaluates the previous semester of the Academic Year.
