Abstract
The research presented in this paper aims at investigating gender-based preferences for study choices made by male and female students studying information technology (IT) disciplines based on the methods of identifying and analyzing relevant IT study programmes in Serbia and Macedonia, and analyzing the students’ perception of the curricula and career opportunities. The methodology used to perform the research and to analyze the results was developed within the “Higher Education Leading to ENgineering And scientific careers” (HELENA) project.
