Student Happiness Index 2023
The Student Happiness Index is an annual report created by Endsleigh’s research and insights team. The report looks at undergraduate and postgraduate students’ overall happiness year on year, their challenges, and concerns, what is motivating them to succeed and their observations about the future.
About the Student Happiness Index 2023
This year’s report looks at how the cost-of-living crisis has impacted all areas of students’ lives and the knock-on effect this has had on their mental health and their academic achievement and the importance of early intervention. We also look at students’ future concerns and how AI and the economic climate are perceived to affect their career opportunities.
