Uni Student Wellbeing Research Hub Webinar
A webinar on university students' mental health. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
You are invited to attend the next Uni Student Wellbeing Research Hub webinar! This webinar is part of the Uni Student Wellbeing Project, which is funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant. Join us for two presentations based on the survey findings from this project.
Title of Presentation: Findings from Year 2 of the Uni Student Wellbeing Survey
Professor Chi Baik and Dr Tracii Ryan, Centre for the Study of Higher Education, The University of Melbourne
This presentation focuses on key findings from Year 2 of the Uni Student Wellbeing Survey, based on analysis of data from N = 11,391 undergraduate students enrolled at six diverse Australian universities in 2025. It examines student mental health and wellbeing (MHWB) outcomes and their associations with a range of course and university experiences — including course value, teacher support, peer engagement, academic stress, university climate, sense of belonging at uni and everyday discrimination — to identify which experiences are most strongly linked to MHWB. The presentation also reports key findings on course satisfaction, student persistence and risk of attrition, and synthesises student suggestions for how universities could improve MHWB, offering practical, student informed directions for institutional action.
Title of Presentation: Who is most at risk? How university experiences shape mental health and wellbeing across diverse groups of Australian undergraduates
Dr Angus Gilmore, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for the Study of Higher Education, The University of Melbourne
Angus Gilmore is a mixed-methods researcher whose work centres on the challenge of measuring the mental health and wellbeing (MHWB) of university students, with particular emphasis on Australian higher education contexts. As a member of the Uni Student Wellbeing project team, he plays an integral role in reporting and analysing data from the Uni Student Wellbeing Survey. This presentation draws on data from that Survey (N = 19,057) to identify which groups of Australian undergraduates are most at risk of poor MHWB and to quantify how the impact of university experiences on MHWB varies across demographic groups.
Please note that there will be time allocated for audience questions after each presentation.
