Student experiences of financial support in summer 2021: insights

Methods

The data for the survey were collected through an online questionnaire of 11 questions. This was available to HE and FE students on the Student Information Scotland website.

Responses to the questionnaire were collated and analysed by Scottish Government analysts in Advanced Learning and Skills Analysis Unit.

It is important to highlight that given the nature of the survey, the results cannot be generalised to, and are not representative, of all FE and HE students in Scotland. However, the findings do provide an indication of the views of responding students with regards to their experiences and perceptions of financial support over the summer months of 2021.

Further details on the methodology, as well as limitations, can be found in Annex A.
