Abstract
Students’ academic performance in the university is affected by several factors, among them most of the factors can be modified to provide optimal conducive environment for learning. Unit of Allied Health Sciences (UAHS), Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna was conducting three degree programs B.Sc. in nursing, B.Sc. in Medical laboratory sciences and B.Pharm. A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted to assess the factors influencing the learning in the UAHS. Students’ academic performance is not significantly associated with gender, nationality, native place, living arrangement and study programme. Students’ academic performance showed statistically significant increasing trend with year of study. Students who chose the course with the interest to follow university studies and the students who following the course with the hope of moving to post graduate study showed statistically significant higher academic performances. Usages of Library and computer laboratory among the students were in a satisfactory level. Students inter personal relationship with fellow students, and seniors seemed good, but students suffered with lack of coping with their workload. It was recommended that conducting the exam and lecture as scheduled, providing ways for coping with workload will enhance the teaching learning environment in the UAHS and improve the academic achievement of the students.
