One of the most important aspiration of modern pedagogy is to ensure the individual access to each student in order to prepare him/her for the autonomous implementation of the activities for which they are being trained. The efforts of contemporary philosophers and pedagogues are pointing to the importance of placing the individual at the center of education by emphasizing the purpose of the educational process. This purpose is particularly emphasized in the higher education qualifications where the student, immediately after graduation, is exposed to different expectations for solving complex problems and situations which the environment is expected to be adopted during the study. Bearing in mind the fact that all students differ, grow in different living conditions and come from families of different socioeconomic status, the contemporary pedagogical approach gives the central importance to the individual. The aims of the present research were to determine to what extent and in what aspects the student-centered approach is present at the health studies in Split, whether there were differences in the student-centered experiences between students of different types of health studies and to offer guidelines for achieving the highest quality of student-centered education. The results indicate that higher education in health studies in Split provides sufficient quality of training in order to acquire the competences of the anticipated study program and that higher education in the health studies' programs is oriented at the students to a middle extent. The results also indicate possible introduction of changes that could contribute to even more positive results. Furthermore, there were no differences in student-centered experiences with regard to the level of study, but the students of radiological technology experienced significantly more student-centered experiences in relation to other study groups. This research raises the issue of contemporary pedagogy regarding the quality of higher education and can serve as a basis for further research to provide an even better and more contemporary approach to the interests, needs and capabilities of each student.
