A choice of studies, which is accurate and consistent with interests, is extremely important. The article presents the results of investigations relating to the motives of candidates for studies called Transportation, being realised at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Cracow University of Technology. The aim of the investigations was to examine this phenomenon. The investigations were executed by the method of questionnaires. They were realised among students of all years of stationary engineering studies (1st degree), that is to say I, II, III and IV year of Transportation studies. They had been preceded with several years of preliminary investigations, which showed interest of about 10–20% of the studied line by I year students. The analysis made on the basis of broadened proper investigations revealed that about 29% of students of all years that were questioned are interested in the studied line.
