FY 2021 The Pandemic’s Impact on University Life: A Survey

The following is a report on the results of the survey conducted in July 2021.

To grasp the actual situation of undergraduate and graduate students during the pandemic, in July 2021 the Student Committee of the National Federation of University Co-operative Associations (NFUCA) held the Pandemic’s Impact on University Life: A Survey.

Survey method

Web survey (call for respondents were done via NFUCA website and social media)

Survey targets

Undergraduate and graduate students across Japan

Survey period

Monday, July 5, 2021 - Monday, July 19, 2021

Number of responses

7,832 responses

The purpose of this survey is to inform society and universities about the current situation and the efforts being made by university students to deal with this pandemic.

This survey targets university students in Japan (both undergraduate and graduate). We will convey the student voice to universities, the government, and society.

Based on the survey results, we will develop specific policies and activities to support student life. We will also discuss issues with various parties and work together to resolve problems that are difficult to solve on our own.

We'd love to hear about your struggles and university life during the pandemic!
