The data collection of the KOTT 2024 survey has ended 30 May 2024. Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey!

Who can participate?

A total of 12 000 randomly selected undergraduate students at universities of applied sciences and universities across Finland are invited to participate in the KOTT survey. Invitations are sent out to students aged between 18 and 34.

The survey aims to build an extensive view of the student population: each individual selected for the survey represents his or her age group and field of study. Individual respondents cannot be identified from the research findings.

It is important that all invited respondents participate in the survey. This ensures that the study results reflect the wellbeing of students as accurately as possible. Every completed survey counts as none of those invited can be replaced by another individual.

Responding is voluntary.
