Considering the expansion of higher education and the increase in the number of university students, the higher the demands and the need to promote the integral development of the student. Before it, this study aimed to evaluate the quality of life and the subjective well-being of students. This is a descriptive study, quantitative and cross-sectional design, in which were used the Instrument to Assess Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) from the World Health Organization - WHO, the Scale of Subjective Well-being and a Questionnaire of Sociodemographic Characteristics. Participated in this study 257 students of both genders and six undergraduate courses in a national university. The data analysis of the quality of life showed that the area with the highest average score (15.23) was the social relations and the worst (12.87) was the environment. When compared to other studies these students in general showed a worse quality of life. As for the scale factors of subjective well-being was found higher mean score (3.80) at the frequency of negative emotions in comparison with the positive emotions (3.27) and with the satisfaction with life (3.57). The majority of students, 185 (72 %) showed subjective well-being moderate. Through these results, it is necessary to think of actions for the prevention and health promotion with the aim of minimizing or eliminating the negative aspects found to strengthen the positive. The results of this study indicate the need for expansion of the policies to assist the student, with psychosocial interventions with the aim of improving the indices of subjective well-being and quality of life.
