ABSTRACT: Grit personality and resilience traits are important elements that influence the quality of student learning. The objective of this study was to identify the level of grit and resilience as well as the relationship between both variables. This study used a quantitative study design in the form of a survey. A total of 387 respondents among UKM students were selected through cluster random sampling techniques. The Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) and Resilience Scale Questionnaire were used to collect data. The analysis results showed that the respondents had a medium-high grit level (SD = 0.866) and high resilience trait level (SD = 0.738). Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship among the variables, and regression analysis was used to determine the regression coefficient of the variables on each other. Findings showed a moderate positive correlation between grit and resilience (r = 0.442,p
