Abstract
Student perspectives and quality assurance have been prominent policy topics in the European policy landscape. Student surveys conducted by tertiary education institutions, national agencies, and independent student organizations have systematically provided feedback to stakeholders about numerous aspects that are in need of improvement. Adding to the existing literature, the Course Quality Advisory Board (CQAB)of the Erasmus Mundus Student and Alumni Association (EMA) launched the Course Quality Student Services (CQSS) survey in the fall of 2013. Unlike existing data collection mechanisms, the CQSS survey focuses on capturing the comparative experience that students undergoing an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) are well positioned to provide. This paper reports on the methodology and the research instrument behind the second wave of the CQSS survey, with data collected between the 1st of June and the 20th of July 2015. CQSS amassed 2131 responses from students in 167 programs and 128 countries. Seventy- eight programs managed to obtain 10 or more responses. Information produced with the CQSS survey can be used to improve student experiences and enhance the quality of programmes under the Erasmus Mundus umbrella. Lessons learned can also be used to enhance the provision of educational services in other internationally focused programs.
