Higher education is a high stakes process involving engagement with
curricula and often entails coping with the onslaught of
assessments and examinations. This process creates a level of
intensity that impacts on the student experience in higher
education. It is, therefore, important to consider not only the
motivational aspects of learning but also quality of life issues,
as they have profound effects on students. Quality of life affects
the way students interact with their formal education, and has
wide-reaching effects on future careers and their ability to
coordinate everyday events. Integrating these two concepts, student
motivation and quality of life, brings together the explicit
elements that underpin learning in the higher education context,
creating links between the affective and social aspects of the
student life. This synthesis is integral to improving student
retention and quality of life and has important ramifications for
educationalists, administrators, pastoral care and academic support
service personnel, and students themselves. Some highlights of the
book include: Applied Positive Psychology in Higher Education
Internationalisation and Quality of Life: A Taiwanese Perspective
The Computer Assisted Learning for the Mind (CALM) Website:
Teaching Skills to Increase Resilience The Oxford University Peer
Support Programme: Addressing the Wellbeing of Students Higher
Education and Student Stress: Reclaiming Light, Liberty and
Learning Improving academic quality of life through attribution-
and motivation-focused counselling
