Abstract The main purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between motivation, self-concept and academic achievement. In addition, gender differences between self-concept, motivation and academic achievement were investigated. The study utilized a quantitative cross-sectional survey design. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to collect data from a randomly selected sample of second year students representing four schools at the university. The study found that there were significant correlations between self-concept, motivation and academic achievement of students. It was also found that female students are significantly more motivated than their male counterparts.
