The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between the carrer plans of students in Finance and Accounting at the Faculty of Management at the University of Gdańsk and their perception of the accreditation and certification of professional financial institutions. Using research primarily based on student surveys, responses to questions about students' perceptions of the importance of certificates and professional qualifications, based on their professional plans, in particular the form of work or the size of the future employer, are formulated. The analysis of the results of the survey allows us to conclude that students planning to work in small and medium enterprises perceive the qualifications awarded by international organizations such as ACCA, CIMA or CFA as unnecessary in their future work. For those students, spending more on learning in return for facilitating the acquisition of professional qualifications is not justified. The basic conclusion from the research can be a guideline for people who construct the curriculum structure and curriculum content-it is justified to diversify the educational offer by allowing them to pursue financial studies accredited by the professors and without such accreditation.
