This master thesis examines student dropouts from higher education in relation to self-efficacy. Student dropouts are currently a major problem domestically and around the world. Most dropouts from universities occur in the very first year of study.

The research results showed that early departures are related to the level of general self-efficacy. In the results there are described in more detail the reasons for dropouts (Covid-19, health, family reasons, difficulty of studies, future employment, studying the wrong field, negative experiences, etc.) and experiences with career counselling, which were unfortunately rather...
