Background: Depression is a common emotional problem among medical students, and it can be This underlines the need to identify factors that can prevent their occurrence. One of these factors, the academic self-concept, has been little investigated in the university context, which makes it essential to define its role in student depression. Understanding how academic self-concept influences emotional well-being can be key to developing effective intervention and support strategies. Objective:to determine the association of academic self-concept and depression in university students belonging to the professional school of human medicine of the Andean University of Cusco from the semester 2023-I Method: This is a quantitative correlational study with descriptive observational design and cross-sectional. In which 297 students from the third to the tenth semester were included who did not present any exclusion criteria. Results: correlation was found between depression and academic self-concept (correlation of -0.419, sig = 0.000). Where students with low self-concept have a higher risk of depression (OR = 16.18), while a high self-concept acts as a protective factor (OR = 0.2) . 55.6% of the students had depression, so severe depression was the most noticeable ( 20.2%). No statistically significant difference was found in depression levels between genders (p = 0.245), although women had a slightly higher mean depression (18.57) than men (16.92). Students in the 7th semester had the highest average depression score (23.69), followed by 6th semester (21.81), indicating that intermediate semester students. Conclusions: A significant negative correlation was demonstrated between academic self-concept and depression levels, with a correlation coefficient of -0.419. This suggests that as academic self-concept decreases, the risk of depression among students increases. This finding is crucial as it suggests that students' perception of themselves in the academic setting is closely related to their mental health, pointing to a critical link between self-concept and emotional well-being..
