This study will evaluate a brief internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program developed specifically for university students, researchers, and academic staff. People in academic settings often face high levels of pressure and may experience psychological difficulties such as anxiety or excessive worry. However, access to psychological support adapted to the academic context is frequently limited. This study investigates whether a short, self-guided online iCBT program can help promote emotional well-being in this population. The program is based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles and is designed to be completed in four weeks, with brief sessions four times per week that can be accessed on any device. Participants will complete questionnaires before and after the intervention to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of the program, as well as changes in emotional well-being. The aim is to evaluate whether this digital intervention can serve as a useful, scalable tool to support emotional well-being in university and research environments.
