ABSTRACT

In the modern educational environment, the quality of higher education is increasingly viewed not only through the prism of academic achievements but also through students’ personal experience and satisfaction. At the same time, the level of satisfaction with education is an indicator of the effectiveness of the educational services provided and the ability of the institution to meet the needs and expectations of students. This article analyses the interrelationships between motivation and student satisfaction with higher education, focusing on factors such as teaching approaches, learning environments, opportunities for personal development, and professional development.
