The research tried to answer the question if there is any association between the accession path and the student’s performance. A sample of 1001 students from a HRM bachelor’s degree has been used. One of the main findings is that individual performance is independent of the accession path, but it is associated to other socioeconomic variables. Despite the uniqueness of the access path variable, it seems that it has no influence on student performance.
