Abstract
University students are under a lot of academic stress. This chapter presents exact sources, effects, and management strategies for academic stress using Lazarus cognitive-relational theory and desk survey to review previous research. The chapter reports that academic workload, financial constraints, poor peer relationships, and inadequate counselling units contribute to the high academic stress levels among university students. It recommends the adequate resourcing of counselling units and the training of students on stress management strategies. It further recommends research on the relationships between gender, year of study, and age, and academic stress on the other hand.
