Objective: With the spread of distance education programmes in universities, the importance of e-learning has increased. This study was conducted as a descriptive study in order to determine the attitudes of university students towards e-learning. Material and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 395 students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university in the 2020-2021 academic year. The data were collected with the “Descriptive Information Form” and “General Attitude Scale Towards E‐Learning”. A minimum of 20 and a maximum of 100 points can be obtained from the scale. In the analysis of the data, Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test were used along with descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation values. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 21.7±2.8, and 89.9% (n=355) of them were female. The results show that the students' technological skill average score was 3.7±0.9, and the most common problems that students experienced during the distance education process were internet connection problems (68.8%) and difficulties in following the lessons (58.9%). It was found that the students' General Attitude Scale Towards E‐Learning scores were at a moderate level with an average score of 55.9±20.2. There was a statistically significant difference between the scale score and the working status of the mother, the students' technological skill scoresand the level of satisfaction with distance education (p<0.05). Conclusion: Considering the moderate level of students' attitudes towards e-learning, it is recommended to expand the training programmes for e-learning and to make improvements in distance education with more interesting methods.
