In the modern conditions of market economy development, the world of professions depends on technological and cultural globalization, hyper competition, widespread use of the latest state-of-the-art technologies and considerable growth of the realm of intellectual labour. The gap between educated and non-educated people is also growing fast, the popularity of professions essential for society is diminishing, and some have already disappeared. The determining factors for successful personal professional realization become increasingly complex. This trend is more visible and contradictory in the local social and economic spaces. The real situation of the regional labour market does not guarantee a permanent job, and severely limits the opportunity for jobs that match individual qualifications. These conditions threaten to narrow the range of options regarding the choice of a university and an academic concentration, and orientates people towards survival strategies (supporting realization in the home town and domination of social models of behavior). In this sense there is an actual need of a complex examination of all the factors and conditions influencing the life choices of university applicants, of the dynamics of their planning strategies and self-determination (as an orientation towards a university or profession), which is considered essential for the development of efficient university policies with a view to attracting students and modernizing the educational process. For a long period of time career orientation problems have been seen as consequences of career consulting and social and psychological diagnostics, underestimating the subjectivity factor in prospective students. All the abovementioned aspects urge us to examine the life strategies of high school students related to their choice of university education as part of their career development within the context of significant social and economic changes. The research discussed herein focuses on the motivation attitudes of students to continue their study at South- West University. A survey has been conducted to reveal the content of the three basic reactions that come with the attitudes – 1. Cognitive reactions or beliefs, reflecting their knowledge of the university and the personal perceptions of it; 2. Affective reactions connected to the evaluation of the university, its social and economic environment, the emotional attitude of students. 3. Conative reactions revealing students’ intentions to continue their education, to make decisions, or highlighting certain tendencies in their development of a personal attitude towards the university. The results of the survey show that the motivation attitudes depend on the public prestige of the university, the parents’ opinion (especially those who have graduated from the same university and have a successful career), the range of academic majors on offer, and the social and economic standards.

Academic Gymnasium was found in October 1784 at the University of Lviv. This is a state secondary educational institution of the humanitarian direction. The graduates-maturists had the opportunity to continue their studies at the university after its completion. The Academic Gymnasium was the oldest gymnasium with the Ukrainian language of instruction. The information concerning the gymnasium's organization's functioning and principles till 1848 was lost due to revolutionary events. We can find the data about the organization of the institution's functioning, the number of teachers and students, and their social origin from 1849. At the same time, this date coincides with the secondary school's reform in 1849 based on the «Organizational Essay of High Schools and Actual Schools of Austria» and the «Normative Plan of Education for Gymnasia», which functioned until 1910 with minor changes. Exactly these normative documents regulated the functioning of the gymnasium - the organization of the educational process, the language of teaching, the priority of disciplines, the number and load of teachers, the organization of extra-curricular activities of high school students. Since 1907, the gymnasium is reorganized into the Main Gymnasium due to the number of students' growth and moving into a newly built building on L. Sapieha street and the Branch in the premises of the Narodnyi dim (People's Hall). The educational process in the gymnasium was carried out based on ministerial plans. By the end of the 20th century, more than 60% of the educational time was spent on learning languages, and the natural and mathematical cycle reached 25%, which indicates the humanitarian direction of gymnasium preparation. The situation was changed by the curriculum for classical gymnasiums in 1909, according to which the disciplines of the natural-mathematical cycle were synchronized with the requirements of universities. The article's main thesis is that during the 1849-1914 years, the Tsissar-Royal Academic Gymnasium in Lviv developed into a leading secondary educational institution. Mostly Ukrainian Greek Catholics, natives from Halychyna, studied here. The headmasters of the gymnasium were experienced teachers, skilled administrators. During the second half of the 19th century - at the beginning of the 20th century, the gymnasium was headed by Franz Brugger (1848-1858), Ivan Piontkovskyi (1858-1868), Vasyl Ilnytskyi (1868-1892 ), Edvard Kharkevych (1892-1911) and Illia Kokorudz (1911-1927). The teaching staff was increasing quantitatively and qualitatively. Careful selection, education requirements, and teaching methods provided the gymnasium with qualified specialists and responsible officials. The institution's educational process was provided by about 23-25 ​teachers, 70% of whom were gymnasium professors. Teachers of gymnasium conducted classes on a high professional level with students and created original textbooks in their native language, literature, history, and geography. Many teachers of the gymnasium and later graduates became well-known socio-political figures, scientists, and artists.So, Academic Gymnasium in Lviv is a secondary educational institution of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It functioned following Austrian secondary school legislation. The Academic Gymnasium, being in the structure of the Lviv University, provided it with well-prepared entrants. Students received a profound knowledge of normative disciplines in the gymnasium and a good national and religious education. The heads of the educational institution were experienced teachers and organizers who took care of the proper provision of the educational institution with teaching staff. The educational and methodological literature was supported, developed, and implemented in the educational process, together with teachers and public figures. Teachers of the gymnasium constantly worked on self-education and were active socio-political leaders. Keywords: Academic Gymnasium, organization, Krajova Szkolna Rada (Region School Council), teachers, teaching process, students, educational legislation.
