Several international studies have been conducted on student burnout. To contribute to the clinical examination as well as research on the mental health of students, the MBI‐SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory‐Student Survey) has been validated and used in different countries but not in French. Objective The aim of this study is to examine the validity of the 3‐dimensional model of the French version of the MBI‐SS, which is characterized by emotional “Emotional Exhaustion” (EE); “Cynicism” (CY); and low scores in “Academic Efficacy” (AE). Method A total of 667 university students were questioned to study the 3‐dimensional structure of the French translation of the MBI‐SS. Results and Conclusion The results validate the 3‐dimensional structure of the MBI‐SS and indicate satisfactory psychometric values. It is concluded that the MBI‐SS can be used to assess burnout in French students.
