The Faculty of Economics and Management of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra provides students within bachelor's study programs with general theoretical and practical knowledge. In the first year of bachelor study students learn the basics of higher mathematics within the subjects "Mathematics IA" and "Mathematics IB". Students acquire practical and applied knowledge in the optional subject "Financial and Insurance Mathematics" taught in the third year of bachelor's degree. The paper deals with the questionnaire survey carried out in the subject "Financial and insurance mathematics" taught at FEM SUA in Nitra. The aim of the statistical analysis is to find out whether students' attitudes towards their professional orientation in the field of financial and actuarial mathematics have changed. During the academic years 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 students were asked to fill out an identical questionnaire aimed at finding their general overview in the field of financial and actuarial mathematics, as well as opinions on their professional future in any of these areas. Methods of descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing were used to evaluate the survey results. The existence of statistically significant relationships among the obtained data was verified by the χ²-test. In case of dependence confirmation the intensity of assessed dependence was determined. The questionnaire survey confirmed the existence of statistically significant differences between the answers of students from different types of secondary schools and academic years.
