Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to dramatic changes in higher education delivery and impacted the critical emerging adulthood phase for young people. This paper reports the results of a survey of undergraduate students in the Central Asian Republic of Kazakhstan in October 2020 related to their mental health after six months of online learning and relative social isolation. The impacts were found to be severe, with 17% of responses indicating moderate negative mental health effects and 14% indicative of severe negative mental health effects. Given that restrictions are projected to continue until at least May 2021, the potential long term effects on the life chances of young people currently in higher education are significant.
