Further analysis
There are many more possibilities for further analysis of the data than can be carried out by participating institutions and/ or the central StudentSurvey.ie function. Third party researchers/ organisations and other interested parties are encouraged to contact the Project Manager at [email protected] to discuss these possibilities or to propose ideas for future research.
Additionally, both of the StudentSurvey.ie datasets are archived with the Irish Social Sciences Data Archive annually and may be accessed by request.
