Become part of the GSb Research Bureau!

The GSb Research Bureau conducts independent research with a high social impact in a non-academic environment. Our research is read by administrators at the University of Groningen, Hanze University of Applied Sciences, and the municipality of Groningen. The GSb press officer also ensures that the research receives local attention. As a member of the research bureau, you will develop various skills and it will look good on your resume.

During an academic year, a small group of students conducts research into issues that concern students. Last year, this involved a mixed-method study into student well-being, in which the results were compared with a similar study conducted by the research agency in 2017. Another well-known study is our 2015 study on student housing. This study revealed that international students in Groningen pay an average of 75% more rent. This study also received national media attention at the time.

One study is conducted each year, and you are expected to remain with the research agency for at least one year. There is approximately one meeting per week, and research is conducted outside of the meetings.
