As the 2021 Australian university year is in full swing, new research commissioned by Studiosity revealed that 38 per cent of students were feeling stressed due to their studies at least once a day during 2020. More distressingly, a further 40 per cent of respondents said they were stressed about their studies every week, and only one per cent of students said they never felt anxious about studying. To discuss these findings and their deeper implications, I spoke to Professor Judyth Sachs, chief academic officer at Studiosity. According to the annual Student Wellbeing Survey, key stressors included not having enough time to prepare for assessments and exams, subject workloads that were too high, and the inability for students to experience practicums in areas like medicine and teaching. The survey, which is now in its sixth year, is critical Sachs believes, "as any discussion about student success is really a conversation about student wellbeing." Studiosity's chief academic officer added there was value in universities following up with their 2020 graduates to see how they are coping with their sense of confidence.
