Abstract | Wellbeing is consistently linked to student experiences or satisfaction within Higher Education (HE). Simultaneously, students’ health needs are becoming more complex and mental health issues more prevalent within the widening population. However, students’ lived experiences are missing from the evidence, creating a gap in what is understood about how students experience their wellbeing. This research used a needs assessment survey of 105 students to inform a phenomenological based methodology on student wellbeing in HE. The research was designed to explore their individual inside and outside contexts. Drawings and interviews from six undergraduate students, were utilised to uncover a deeper understanding of their lived experiences and their wellbeing. In addition, students described what influenced it, how they maintained it, and how they made sense of their experiences. |
