Abstract: Abstract The aim of this paper is to offer an applicable evaluation framework relating to the right choice of one’s profession via his/her studies. The first part of the paper consists of the basic principles of multicriteria decision-making. To begin with, the paper initially focuses on the MACBETH method. This helps to provide a perspective for procedural types of decisions in which various qualitative and quantitative aspects are incorporated. In the second part of the paper, the abovementioned multicriteria method is applied to a “real-world” case concerning a specific case of a student, Eva. For this specific study, it is concluded that the factors of greatest importance that lead to choosing the university Eva finally chose were four: the cost of undergraduate studies, the reputation-status of the university, its logistics and infrastructure, and its interconnections with other universities and other academic institutions.
