RESUMO
COVID-19 has been one of the major incidents in the global university education system in recent years. Its influence and effects on education are still difficult to determine today. Both students and teachers have had to change their study and work routines and disciplines, in many cases lacking the necessary infrastructure to adapt to online learning. Students had to start a new academic year with a complete return to face-to-face teaching without having overcome, in many cases, the incidence of online learning. This study, through 167 responses to a survey addressed to economics students at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, aims to analyse the causes of an improvement or a worsening of the academic performance of university students in the return to normality after having gone through COVID-19's restrictions. The results obtained show that students, students who attend tutorials and those who have evaluated online teaching positively, are the ones who have most improved their performance in the return to face-to-face teaching. And those who have suffered the physical and psychological consequences of COVID and those with less infrastructure and income have worsened their results.
