Summary:The purpose of this study is to determine the stress level among UiTM music students based on gender. Measuring the level of stress among music students is quite new in Malaysia. Besides the stress level, this study is also conducted to determine the factor(s) that cause the most stress among UiTM music students. This study is also carried out to determine the possible stress management strategies suggested by the current UiTM Diploma in Music students to help UiTM music students to manage their stress. The method used in this study is quantitative. The unit analysis of the study comprised of 100 respondents who are UiTM Diploma in Music students who are randomly selected. In general, the study showed that music students only experienced mildly stress. The findings of the study also indicate that there are no significance between the stress levels and the gender. The possible stress management strategies rated most effective for alleviating stress are supportive environment, followed by healthy lifestyle, and lastly, sleep. A general conclusion is that there are many factors that influence UiTM Diploma in Music students to experience stress such as academic, time management, personal concern and environmental issues which can give impact to their lives. Many express that they have no time for things such as getting ready for course examination, completing the assignments or paper work, perhaps getting ready for course presentation, social life with friends and family and other activities that they enjoy doing. Finally, I have also learnt better time management.
