The financial literacy belongs to the key competencies of the modern society members and its importance growths every day. This paper presents results of the financial literacy research among the university students of the different fields of study. The survey covers both forms of study, means the full-time study and as well the part-time study. We obtained the data through a questionnaire survey conducted simultaneously at five universities in Czech Republic and Slovakia. In this survey, we have found out some of the personality characteristics of the participants, and further, they solved common problems in the area of the financial decision making. The aim of the research was to verify whether the everyday practical experience of part-time students has a positive impact on their financial literacy when compared with the full-time students. In this context, we have also distinguished between economic and technical studies. Applying the statistical analysis methods, we have not only confirmed our expectations, but this analysis also revealed several remarkable findings.
