Therefore, this study aims to determine the correlation of body image, self-esteem, and academic performance amongst University of Cyberjaya (UoC) students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done by using simple random sampling. The respondents that met the criteria’s received self-administered questionnaires online. The data was analysed using SPSS version 23. Results: From the findings, it is discovered that male students had more satisfaction (53.6%) compared to females (37.9%). Females showed higher academic performances (31.7%) compared to males (21.4%). There is an important association between body image perception and self-esteem towards academic performances, however, there is no association among self-esteem and body image perception.
