The aim of the project is to investigate how university students experienced their studies during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. In a survey conducted in three Finnish universities, we look not only at students’ study experiences, but also at motivation and well-being, stressors related to the exceptional circumstances, as well as means and resources that helped students cope with the situation. The survey was conducted three times during the pandemic, in spring 2020, fall 2020 and spring 2021, and once after the pandemic in spring 2023. In addition to research purposes, the knowledge gained from the project will be used to monitor and improve student well-being.
