Abstract :This study explores the relationship between academic self-esteem and academic achievement among international students. Academic self-esteem refers to students’ perceptions of their academic abilities and their confidence in achieving academic goals. The research adopts a quantitative approach, using validated instruments to measure self-esteem and academic achievement. Data were collected from a diverse group of international students and statistical analysis was conducted to assess the correlation between these variables. The results show a strong positive relationship between academic self-esteem and academic achievement, highlighting that students with a high self-concept tend to perform better academically. The study also identifies the key factors that shape academic self-esteem, including the support of teachers, peers and family, as well as the influence of cultural and social integration. Recommendations are given for educators and institutions to implement strategies that build students\\\' academic confidence and resilience, especially for those transitioning to a new educational and cultural environment. This research contributes to the understanding of the psychological and environmental factors that influence academic performance, providing information to improve support systems for international students to maximize their potential.
