One of the pending issues in the theoretical framework of academic well-being is the development of leadership in students. By the way, various aspects of leaders have been highlighted, the exercise of social skills being one of the most appearing in the literature in this regard. It’s important to explore it on university student’s population. This research established the relation between soft skills and leadership levels in 132 psychology and engineering students in the city of Huancayo. On the results, linear regression model showed the significant effect of social skills on the variability of student leadership. (R² = 551), in the same way, comparative statistics were carried out to determine the relationship effect that social skills have on total leadership (F = 34.765; Sig. = .000 eta = .525) as well as on the dimensions of the leadership. These results allow us to determine the positive effect that the development of soft skills had on leadership traits in psychology and engineering students from the city of Huancayo - Peru. These are considered a contribution to the development of strategies and academic leadership.
