Abstract. The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of human life which has hampered all activities including education in Indonesia and urged the implementation of distance learning which has never been done simultaneously before. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on final year students can also trigger stress. So, in dealing with perceived stress, an individual will carry out coping as an effort to reduce demands or eliminate perceived stressful situations. One of the coping used is by final year students of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Padjadjaran University. The purpose of this study was to describe the coping strategies used by final year students during the thesis completion process during the Covid-19 pandemic which consisted of two dimensions and eight forms of coping strategies described by Lazarus and Folkman including; dimensions of problem focused coping namely planful problem solving, confrontative coping, and seeking for social support. And the emotion-focused coping namely positive reappraisal, accepting responsibility, self-controlling, distancing, and escape avoidance. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with interview techniques and literature study.  Keywords: Coping strategy, Stress, Final Year Students. Abstrak.
