Abstract
The post-compulsory education sector in the U.K. has faced challenges recently in terms of issues related to a pandemic and reviews of teachers’ professional standards. It is inevitable that post-compulsory students’ wellbeing in London is a much-talked-about issue. However, research is required to identify factors that contribute to their wellbeing. The investigation uses a purposive sampling procedure and the case study approach. Post compulsory students at universities and colleges completed Ryff’s (2014) psychological wellbeing scale and demographic questions. All students were asked to complete an ethical consent form. Analysis revealed that females were more self-accepting with a purpose in life. They tended to plan their workloads and spent less time in flexible paid employment and so had more time to spend with family and friends. This supportive network enhanced their psychological wellbeing. Further research will investigate the differences between male and female reasons for differences in self-acceptance, purpose in life and stress arising from courses they take. Moreover, students’ use of emotions with respect to individual differences in personality may elucidate the reasons why male students find writing assignments demanding. This may be related to time management skills and requires research.
