What helps you stay healthy whilst studying, and what do you need to achieve this?
The LUST-study (Lübeck University Student Trial) has been investigating these questions – and many more – on an ongoing basis since 2011! This makes the LUST-study unique in Germany!
What is the purpose of this?
The findings of the LUST-study give us a good overview of how our students at the University of Lübeck are getting on. We also use the findings to tailor our student wellbeing services and to inform our regular dialogue with study programme coordinators and the university management. Here’s to a healthy and successful time at the UzL!
How can you take part?
Fill in the questionnaire below. Please answer all the questions as spontaneously as possible. Sometimes it may feel as though questions are repeating themselves, but every question is important to us. If in doubt, select the answer option that best reflects your response. To navigate through the questionnaire, please use the buttons provided in the questionnaire itself, not the ‘Back’ button in your browser.
The questionnaire takes about 25 minutes to complete. As a thank you, you’ll receive a 5-euro voucher from Hugendubel. You can collect the voucher either from our stand at the First-Year Fair ("Ersti-Messe", 9 October 2026) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., or during our voucher distribution sessions. The voucher distribution sessions will take place in mid-November. You’ll receive detailed information about this by email in good time. To verify your identity when collecting the voucher, we’ll need your student ID number (see next page).
