Abstract

The study aimed to know the important factors affecting the professional choice of the Algerian university student, through a field study on a sample of 120 male and female students who were selected in a stratified random manner from the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Djilali Bounaama in Khemis Miliana during the first semester of the academic year 2022-2023. The descriptive approach was used, and Khassawina's test (2019) was applied after checking its psychometric properties on a sample of 30 male and female students. The study concluded that: personal determinants, self determinants (inclinations, abilities, values), social, economic and cultural determinants, and determinants of satisfaction and happiness, respectively, are the most important factors affecting the university student's professional choice.
