PGT Students Wellbeing Study (deadline 31 August)
This is an email to invite all (PGT) Masters programme students to participate in a study on student wellbeing. The study is being undertaken by staff from the School of Psychology & Neuroscience and the School of Medicine and the aim of the study is to investigate the wellbeing of students on (PGT) Masters programmes, over one academic year.
PGT students face particular challenges during their relatively short time studying at St Andrews. There is a need to adjust to changes in social networks, support networks, time management demands, changes in living arrangements, and the common stresses of day-to-day activities. These challenges over the period of one year, coupled with the current impact of the pandemic, can affect levels of well-being. By gaining a more detailed understanding of how a student’s well-being fluctuates throughout the year, teaching staff at the University will be better equipped to predict when students are most likely to require extra support.
Your participation would involve completion of a brief online questionnaire. All participants will be entered into a prize draw to win one of three £40 gift vouchers.
If you have taken part in previous rounds of the PGT wellbeing survey, you are welcome to take part again
