The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling with the criteria of active students of the faculty of psychology, students of class 2017-2019, currently taking the final thesis. The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between hardiness and academic burnout in students who are working on their thesis. The hypothesis proposed in this study is accepted, namely that there is a negative relationship between hardiness and academic burnout in psychology faculty students who are working on their thesis. The higher the hardiness possessed by students, the lower the academic burnout experienced by students, and vice versa. The relationship can be seen from the correlation coefficient (r) of -0.475 with a significance value of p=0.000 (p<0.05) and an effective contribution of 22.56%.
