An intention is to identify the impact and effects of distribution of personal career anchors of university students during clarifying of career expectations and formation of professional self-conception. The aim is to compare the distribution of personal career anchors according to the type of study program and the form of university study. The first chapter describes the types of personal career anchors in interpretation of Schein's concept. The second chapter presents the methodology of questionnaire survey concerning the personal career anchors. The third chapter interprets and discusses the results of the cluster analysis of the questionnaire survey concerning the distribution of personal career anchors of four subsets of students of SU OPF in the academic year 2014/2015. The conclusion confirms the usefulness of the cognition of Schein's concept of personal career anchors for clarification of career expectations and formation of professional self-conception of the university students of SU OPF Karviná.
