Hello,

You are invited to participate in our student stress survey. We know that higher education experience
can be truly genuinely stressful sometimes, and we want to find out ways to support our students to
cope with that more efficiently. The purpose of this questionnaire is to capture feedback about the
stress you've experienced this academic year and how you've handled that. The completion will take
approximately 20 minutes.

Please, take some moments to reflect on each question addressed and try to be as sincere as possible.
Your answers will remain confidential and they will be only used in finding ways to improve the
academic experience of our students in the future.

You can start with the survey by clicking on the Continue button below. Thank you for your cooperation!
