Abstract

The upcoming generation of leaders, represented by students, plays a crucial role in
governing the country. However, their tertiary education life is significantly influenced by
academic and social pressures, which can lead to stress. This stress may manifest in severe
consequences such as suicidal thoughts, drug addiction, and dropping out of college.
Academic stress, arising from factors like lecturers, assignments, and peer interactions, is a
key contributor to more profound issues like depression and anxiety. This paper aims to
assess the level of academic stress among 421 future holders of a Diploma in TESL Kolej
Poly-Tech MARA Ipoh. Survey results were analyzed to gauge stress levels associated with
different stressors. The findings indicate that students predominantly experience heightened
academic stress linked to outcomes, tests, peer interactions, and self-imposed pressure. These
results offer insights for students, educators, and universities to identify and address
academic stress issues, with implications for future research.
