Since the phenomenon of burnout affects more and more people, this research aims to explore the existing relationship between the health crisis facing humanity and the emergence of student burnout in the context of the digitalization of the teaching-learning process, by overloading them with academic tasks. 209 students from the West University of Timișoara, undergraduate cycle, of which 172 are female and 37 are male, participated in the research. Following the analysis of the data collected through the questionnaire, it was found that third-year students are more prone to burnout than first- year and second-year students, with an average of 3.25. At the same time, women are more prone to the occurrence of the phenomenon than men with an average of 3.26.
