Popis: The article presents an overview of modern studies of career orientations, personal values, and social adaptation, which showed the appropriateness of studying these phenomena in their interrelations and differences depending on the type of adaptation. The aim of the study is to determine the interrelations of career orientations and personal values with different types of socio-cultural adaptation of international students studying in the UK, London. 29 foreign students aged 18–20 were examined. The research techniques are “The Career Anchors” questionnaire by Schein, the personality adaptation questionnaire to the new socio-cultural environment by Yankovsky, and the diagnostic technique of the axiological orientation of the personality by Kaptsov. Statistical methods of processing empirical data include descriptive statistics by groups, Pearson correlation analysis. Software for processing the results of an empirical study was the SPSS 22.0, for data visualization—Excel 2007, Corel Draw 2018. In general, international students prefer such career orientations as “Lifestyle” and “Pure challenge”, and personal values “Values of profession” and “Values of education”. Career orientations are not associated with adaptive and interactive types of socio-cultural adaptation; there are no interrelations of career orientations and personal values with any type of socio-cultural adaptation. Polyvariability was found in the choice of types of socio-cultural adaptation to a new environment.
