Abstrakt: This study examines the level of critical thinking among university students from different fields of study. Critical thinking was analyzed from two perspectives—as a skill and as a disposition. The sample consisted of 92 undergraduate and graduate students from technical and social science fields. Data were collected using the Critical Thinking Questionnaire (CThQ; Kobylarek et al., 2022) and the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS; Sosu, 2013). The results indicate a moderate to high level of critical thinking among university students. No statistically significant differences were found between students of technical and social sciences in terms of either critical thinking skills or dispositions. Similarly, no significant gender differences were observed. The findings highlight the importance of systematically fostering critical thinking in higher education, regardless of the field of study.
