Abstract :
This short study displays and highlights how well are international students managing their Work-Life balance after moving to a new country (the UK specifically), and are they able to adapt to this whole new lifestyle in which they have to almost fully rely on themselves. The results were carried out as an online questionnaire with a small sample of 50 ONCAMPUS students in which with consent they were asked questions related to the study. After receiving answers from people that came to the UK from all around the world, and despite the background diversity, we were able to conclude that most students either maintained the same Work-Life balance, or witnessed a development.
Aim:
To investigate ONCAMPUS students ability to manage their Work-Life Balance, and how did this lifestyle change affected their lives.
Literature Review
Having a Work-Life balance is an increasingly important issue among everyone, Therefore it is important to study the work-life balance of foreign students and the issues they face with it; however, there are certain things to consider before starting the study, For instance, Work-Life balance is likely to be different depending on one’s age and maturity level, a mature individual is more likely to have an effective Work-Life management than an immature individual. The authors of a study published in November 2016 attempted to answer whether a person’s age affects their assessment of work-life balance, And Based on the study findings, those representing older age groups are more likely to maintain a healthy Work-Life balance (Kaźmierska/ Katarzyna,2016). Another key factor that can be of great importance, is the pressure put on the students by his family and relatives, while some people do have the ability to manage that said pressure, most people, especially young individuals, often find themselves put under too much pressure, that makes them feel like no matter how much effort and time they put in in their studies, it is still not nearly enough, which ultimately leads to a gigantic amount of stress and anxiety, that displays an obvious imbalance in their Work-Life Balance. Only a few research have looked at major factors of work-life balance and conflict. Some research have hypothesised negative correlations between work-life balance and job stress

The results were carried out as an online questionnaire with a minor sample of 45 ONCAMPUS London students in which with consent they were asked questions related to the study.

Having a Work-Life balance is an increasingly important issue among everyone, Therefore it is important to study the work-life balance of foreign students and the issues they face with it; however, there are certain things to consider before starting the study, For instance, Work-Life balance is likely to be different depending on one’s age and maturity level, a mature individual is more likely to have an effective Work-Life management than an immature individual.

Another key factor that can be of great importance, is stress, Some research have hypothesised negative correlations between work-life balance and job stress, but these hypotheses have not been statistically tested . Stress appears to have an essential impact in the few research that have looked at correlational predictors of work-life balance and work-life conflict. Workplace stress has been connected to a decline in work-life balance and an
