In the present article we study the engagement of University students. Data drawn from the Faculty of Health and Caring Professions of a Greek University, are properly analyzed via inferential statistics in order to detect characteristics that affect significantly the engagement of students. Factor analysis has been also applied and revealed the expected structure of the measurement scale that has been used. Moreover, cluster analysis based on total score contributed to the identification of the crucial role of several demographics.
