This research was carried out to determine the level of financial literacy perceptions of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University’s undergraduate students and to determine whether these perceptions change according to their education type, demographic characteristics or education department. In line with the stated purpose, detailed literature search was made and the instruments of the questionnaire to be used in the field research were created. With the ethics committee permission document and project support of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Department, data were collected via questionnaires from 533 students studying at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University. When the data obtained were analyzed, it was found that financial literacy perceptions of students in faculties and colleges are generally at a good level. In addition, it was observed that students of Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences and Faculty of Engineering and Architecture have higher perceptions than students of other faculties and colleges. On the other hand, it was seen that the gender of the students, their use of credit cards and their individual retirement did not make a significant difference in their perception of financial literacy. However, it was determined that there are significant differences between students’ ages with their use of internet banking and their financial literacy. It is thought that the relevant findings will be useful for researchers and practitioners. Moreover, the extensive blending of the questionnaires in the literature and the conduction of field research on a sample that can be evaluated at a good level in quantity reveal originality of the study and the potential of leading to practical implications.
