3. Evaluating Student Health and Wellbeing in Monash Law and Marketing
Research into student health and wellbeing is being undertaken for Law students to participate in.
The aim/purpose of the research and possible benefits:
- Measure the levels of distress (anxiety, depression, stress, physical wellbeing) among students across all year levels in the faculty of Law and among Marketing students in BusEco.
- Measure level of engagement students experience within both faculties and the university and examine any relationship that may exist with psychological wellbeing, symptoms of physical ill health and academic results.
- Examine whether there are differences in measured levels of student distress (anxiety, depression, and stress), engagement and physical symptoms of ill health, between direct entry students and transfer students, across the duration of the Law degree, and between students of the two faculties.
For further information on this research please see the flyer.
To participate, please fill out the survey.
