This study aimed to investigate the impact of stress on psychological wellbeing among the students from various faculties in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The questionnaire was administrated and was distributed to a sample of 368 students in the selected university. The findings illustrated that anxiety showed non-significant impact on psychological wellbeing. Depression and stress were instead found to have significant impact on the psychological wellbeing. In order to improve this phenomenon, it is highly recommended that university should take necessary proactive actions in helping students manage their mental health needs. Access to interventions and prevention programmes needs to be strengthened within the university settings.
