Student motivation is an axial variable in the choice of degree, academic performance, and future incorporation into the labor market. In this study, with a descriptive and cross-sectional design, 292 students enrolled in different university degrees of the University of Granada, in the campuses of Ceuta and Melilla; 66.80% (n = 195) women and 33.20% (n = 97) men, with a mean age of 22.03 years (SD = 5.80), were selected by stratified random sampling, in order to determine which type of motivation (extrinsic or intrinsic) was predominant and which population was more motivated. For data collection, a questionnaire was developed to assess students’ motivation according to socio-demographic factors and social competence. The results revealed that students pursuing Educational degrees showed higher adherence than those studying Nursing or Business Administration and Management. The regression model proved to be valid, predicting 81.8% of cases and explaining between 0.201 and 0.309 of the dependent variable, showing that the most intrinsically motivated students were students of Educational Sciences with high social activity
