TUCpanel 2026: Student Survey Launches

From April 20 to May 1, 2026, students at Chemnitz University of Technology have the opportunity to actively help shape their study conditions as part of a university-wide online survey.

The annual student survey TUCpanel at Chemnitz University of Technology is open now. The goal of this annual survey is to gain a comprehensive picture of how students perceive their studies, their teaching and learning conditions, and campus life in general.

The results from previous years have already provided valuable input for the continuous improvement of study and teaching at TU Chemnitz. As a result, a number of changes have been initiated in recent years – for example, in exam structures, module descriptions, practical components, and the design of learning and recreational spaces like our common rooms.

To obtain a more precise overview of our student’s experiences TUCpanel 2026 has been further amended. Questions on workload and exam pressure have been updated and made more specific to provide a more accurate representation of your actual study load.

Greater focus on international perspectives

A new set of questions for international students at Chemnitz University of Technology takes into account their specific experiences and challenges, for example regarding language, the organisation of studies or integration. With the help of this expanded questionnaire, the university aims to capture these perspectives even more effectively in order to further improve study conditions for all students. A new Instagram channel for international students has also been launched, offering insights into TUCpanel and the university’s study success initiatives.

In addition, new topics on the university’s external perception and on students’ motivations for choosing Chemnitz University of Technology have been introduced. These insights will help to better understand the factors that influence the decision to study at TU Chemnitz.

Please take part and help us improve university life

Every participant in this survey contributes to further improving the study experience at Chemnitz University of Technology. By sharing their feedback, students can help initiate important changes – for themselves and for future generations of students. Each participation makes an important contribution to continuously improving study conditions at TU Chemnitz. All students are warmly invited to take part!

The survey is open until 1 May 2026. All participants will have the chance to enter a prize draw following the survey.
