The Burnout Syndrome is a problem of great social impact these days. Students, like any worker, maintain a direct and indirect compensation relationship with the university institution, evidenced by financial support, scholarships, recognitions or awards.

This is a research with a quantitative, descriptive, transversal and non-experimental approach. The total population was 227 legally enrolled students of which 196 were considered for this study and the 31 were excluded due to non -attendance and as a tool a matrix was used for the collection of sociodemographic data and the One-dimensional Student Burnout Scale.
