European Student Card (ESC)

The European Student Card (ESC) is a common student identity for higher education students in Europe. With the ESC, students on exchange abroad can access the same services as local students without needing to apply for a new student card. These services range from university facilities, such as libraries and canteens, to online resources, discounts, and public transport.

The European Student Card (ESC) is part of the European Student Card Initiative, supported by the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) of the European Commission. The aim is to make student mobility simpler, more attractive, and enriching.

This questionnaire is intended for higher education students and representatives of higher education institutions. We want to understand your level of knowledge about the ESC and your experience using it so that we can improve its functionality.

This Europe-wide consultation aims to assess general awareness and attitudes towards the objectives of the European Student Card. Therefore, no prior knowledge or experience with the European Student Card is required to respond.

The survey takes only 10 minutes to complete and will be available until 6 December 2024.
