Academic burnout is a persistent disorder characterized by fatigue that affects academic performance and student motivation. The objective was to analyze academic burnout in Peruvian university students, comparing the results with the socio-academic characteristics of the students, such as age, sex, area and year of study. The study was descriptive, quantitative, non-experimental – ex-post facto. 1241 university students participated and were selected intentionally, and the Maslach Burnout Student Survey Inventory (MBISS) Peruvian validation was applied. High scores were found regarding emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and low scores on personal accomplishment, determined the presence of academic burnout in the students. It is concluded that academic burnout is associated with gender (women), age (under 18 years old) and area of study (social sciences), being these students those who develop greater exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment.
