By collecting retrospective evaluations of study offerings and conditions as well as surveying students for information on their skills when they finish their programs, the university determines to what extent the degree programs offered prepare students for the requirements of working life and in what areas there is a need for further development. This survey is conducted every two years. The results are used for program development purposes.

The survey of students in bachelor’s degree programs is conducted across all programs every four years. Ongoing feedback from students on various aspects, such as degree program structure, conditions of study, infrastructure options, and study habits is elicited with an eye to identifying potential approaches to improve the degree programs at Freie Universität Berlin.

The survey of former students (withdrawal/change of program before completion) is conducted on an ad hoc basis. The goal of this retrospective evaluation of degree program structure, study conditions, infrastructure offerings and study prerequisites, living conditions, and study habits is to determine the subjective reasons why students change majors or universities or stop studying altogether, thereby allowing the university to identify potential ways to reduce withdrawal rates, both before students start a program and over the course of their studies.
