Although higher education institutions are currently relatively
well prepared for the study of students with special
educational needs, only a small percentage of pupils with
visual disabilities currently study university. The aim of this
thesis is to find the motivation of these students to study at
university. The theoretical part of the thesis connects themes
related to personality, study, professional preparation and
employment of individuals with visual impairment. In the
practical part the motivation of pupils to study at
universities was investigated in the form of interviews. The
work testifies to the need to improve awareness of pupils with
visual disabilities about university studies.
