This article examines the factors influencing the students that attend the Gama Faculty at the University of Brasilia when choosing the Software Engineering Undergraduate Course. Exploratory research and quantitative approach. The data were collected through a questionnaire applied to 61 incoming undergraduate students who wished to attend the referred undergraduate course in November 2019. The results revealed that the choice of the Software Engineering course is related to the students’ affinity with the profession, but the financial compensation and the employability also influence on the course choice. The results also revealed that the choice of the University of Brasilia institution is mainly related to reputation, quality of teaching, student recommendation and employability, due to the institution’s name.
