Abstract: The choice of a department in a University or Technological Educational Institute (T.E.I. or TEI) by prospective students for their undergraduate studies is influenced by various factors. The gravity of these factors, which we identify as criteria, will determine the department of an educational institution for tertiary level studies selected by the potential student. These criteria can be described as academic, personal, or economic, as well as based on the information the student has about the institution, along with the direct and wider environment, e.g., of the city, where the department is located. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate how much the defined criteria and sub-criteria affect the choice of a department for tertiary level studies. The results confirm that the ranking of students' selection criteria is different in the various examined groups.
