## Student mental health survey

### November 10 to December 19, 2025

Although being a student means new opportunities and experiences, it also brings wide-ranging demands that can sometimes become a genuine burden. Our aim with this survey is to get a comprehensive idea of our students’ mental health, not just in terms of stress factors (“stressors”) but also with regard to things that provide strength and support. Students at the University of Bonn can participate in the survey by clicking on the link in the invitation email from the Center for Evaluation and Methods (ZEM).
