The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the lives of young adults, including students. Accumulating evidence shows that the quality of life and mental health of many students was and remains to be strongly affected by the pandemic. Typically, young adults experience an active and often exciting phase of life during their studies. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, this experience is replaced by restrictions and social isolation. Additionally, students may have lost their jobs or may have been forced to leave their accommodations due to financial reasons. All of this may increase insecurities and worries about health and the future and may decrease the general quality of life and mental well-being of students. One and a half years after the start of the pandemic, students may have developed different ways to cope with the current situation.

This UNIC seminar brings together scholars and students to discuss how the crisis has affected the mental health situation of students at several universities in different countries. Current research approaches from different disciplines and insights will be presented. Strategies and ways to cope with the situation individually and collectively will be discussed between scholars and students.
