Summary/Abstract: This text aims to discuss training in the humanities and social sciences through the prism of value transformations. The situation in Bulgaria over the last thirty years constitutes the privileged terrain for reflection, although the processes observed in the post‑communist context overlap with global trends towards pragmatic reorientation and economic profitability of university teaching and research. The analysis focuses on the motivations of students in university programs in the humanities and social sciences and aims to show their post‑1989 development through specific values, life trajectories and strategies.
