Abstract Stress is a common problem among students studying professional degrees including engineering, medicine, law, and management. The purpose of this study is to investigate the causes, impacts, and coping methods associated with stress among these students. The study investigates academic pressure, competition, financial difficulties, peer expectations, and time management challenges as key stressors. To collect data from students in various professional areas, a mixed-method approach is used, which includes surveys and interviews. The study also looks into the psychological and physiological effects of stress, such as anxiety, burnout, and decreased academic performance. The findings show that while some students employ constructive coping methods like time management, exercise, and social support, others engage in unhealthy habits like procrastination and substance abuse. The study underlines the need of institutional support structures.
