The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of seven factors causing academic stress on students of University of Economics and Business - Vietnam National University: Lack of leisure time, Academic performance, Fear of failure, Academic overload, Finances, Competition between students, Relationships with university faculty. Based on the results of a practical survey of 185 students who are attending any courses at the University of Economics and Business - Vietnam National University, the study assesses the impact of stress factors on students. The thesis focuses on clarifying the concept of "stress" and the stress level of students, while pointing out its negative effects on students. This study includes two cross-sectional questionnaire surveys. The first survey uses a set of 16 questions to assess students’ perceptions and attitudes based on an instrument to measure academic stress - Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). The second survey aims to test internal consistency, the robustness of the previously established 7-factor structure. Henceforth, the model was brought back and used qualitatively, combined with Cronbach’s Alpha measurement test and EFA discovery factor analysis. This study was conducted from October 2019 to December 2019. From these practical analyzes, several proposals were made for the society, the school and the students themselves.

The purpose of this study was to identify events which elicit academic stress, determine the relative magnitude of each item, and develop an academic stress scale for college students. A convenient sample of 202 college students was used to generate the 35 stressors while one of 498 students was utilized to assess the stressfulness of each item on a scale of 1 to 1000. The data indicated that final grades, excessive homework, term papers, examinations, and studying for examinations were the most significant stressors encountered by the students. Although ratings appeared to be similar for all demographic subgroups, pooled variance t tests indicated 13 significant mean differences within the composite instrument. Religion and ethnicity were the areas of greatest difference, with Buddhists and Arabs differing from all other religions and races, respectively. Reliability for the composite instrument, as measured by Cronbach's alpha, was .92 and .86 via the split-half method. Results can be used to enhance students' educational experience, tailor counselling programs, and modify the educational facilities and structures. The data reestablish the need for proper educational methodology.
