Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to describe and identify the general anxiety level and the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on anxiety among students during online learning because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is a quantitative non-experimental study. The instrument used in the study is the questionnaire Beck Anxiety Inventory. The results showed that during remote learning students experienced moderate anxiety levels. In addition, the results indicated that the variables of gender and educational profile had a significant impact on the anxiety levels experienced by students. In the light of study findings, we recommend the following: the need to conduct further systematic research on factors that influence the preparedness and performance of students during online learning; develop pilot studies on online learning that are not related to the pandemic context, structures of specialised training with regard to anxiety management techniques and the factors that encourage it.
