All rights reserved.Bourdieu's work, especially the concepts of field, capital and habitus, have transcended in the social sciences to understand what happens in the educational process. This article presents the results of a systematic mapping from the methodological criteria of Petersen et al. (2008) to identify the bibliographic application of these concepts in Higher Education. 104 documents hosted in the Scopus and Web of Science bibliographic databases between 2009-2019 were analyzed. The study variables were languages, countries, accessibility, types of work, jobs with the greatest impact and lines of research. It was found that there is some research on the subject, with a small number of open access documents, most of it in English and from the United Kingdom. The lines of research turned out to be varied, with a tendency to study the principles of choice and the trajectories of students, teaching practices, the influence of habitus and capital in the transition from university to work, as well as gender studies. . It is concluded that the elaborated mapping offers researchers a detailed selection of the scientific production of high international impact that can be used to determine their research routes.
