The decision to choose a study is a professional decision that certainly determines the future of an individual. The development of professional maturity is important for making the most realistic and optimal decision for the individual. Vocational guidance activities are necessary to develop professional maturity. By participating in vocational guidance activities, individuals prepare for the choice of occupation or education, get to know themselves and the world of work. In the process of vocational guidance, many factors can shape and influence the professional decisions of the individual. In Croatia, students make very important professional decisions at the transition from elementary school to high school and at the transition from high school to college or to the labour market. Since more and more students choose to study, it is very important to explore their satisfaction with the study, which can also affect their satisfaction with the choice of profession or education. Student satisfaction can shape the image of the Faculty, influence the number of enrolled future students, but research can be of great benefit to the Faculty, in improving the quality of work. This paper is divided into theoretical and empirical parts. The theoretical part presents knowledge of professional decisions, professional maturity, vocational guidance and student satisfaction with study. The empirical part presents the results of a research conducted with the aim of examining the reasons for enrolment of the study of pedagogy at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka, discovering sources of information when deciding on enrolment in this Faculty, examining the frequency of participation in vocational guidance activities before enrolment in the study and with the aim of testing the satisfaction of enrolment in the study. The survey involved 87 undergraduate and graduate students of pedagogy at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka, and the data were collected through a survey. The results indicate various reasons for enrolment, and websites are the most frequent source of information for students. Students mostly directed themselves professionally, and the results showed that parents were advisors when choosing their studies. There was no statistically significant difference in satisfaction between students for whom study was their first choice and those for whom study was not their first choice, but a statistically significant difference in satisfaction with study was determined between undergraduate and graduate students.
