The Student Council has submitted another survey on the well-being and status of students at the University of Iceland during COVID-19. The goal is to gain a better insight into your situation and thus be able to identify ways to improve. It is important to evaluate the situation in order to react accordingly.

Students have received the survey on their UI e-mail addresses and the Student Council requests that it be answered before February 17th. The survey can also be accessed right here.
