Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to outline several aspects concerning the presence of Romanian and Hungarian students hailing from the villages on the Gurghiu Valley (Mureş County) at the gymnasiums and secondary schools in Transylvania and at the universities in the Habsburg Monarchy. On the basis of data collected from parish records and prosopographical works, we will provide information concerning the abovementioned groups of individuals, focusing on their preferences for certain specialisations and on the career pathways they followed after completing their education.
