Higher Education Research Studies Student Stress and Coping Evasion and Academic Success Factors

Abstract

Based on data from a questionnaire survey of the new undergraduate intake to the University of Birmingham, the factors which influence withdrawal/retention rates in the first term were examined. The effectiveness of counselling intervention with first-year undergraduate students at risk of leaving university in their first term is also explored. The implications for universities wishing to increase retention rates and facilitate successful degree completion are discussed.
