Professional skills

It is expected that students acquire some professional skills during their university studies. In this sense, it is possible to talk about “generic-transversal competencies” and “specific competencies”.
Generic competencies refer to aspects such as using ICT, applying critical reasoning, or learning autonomously.
On the contrary, specific competencies have an impact on the student’s professional development. This includes, for example, to direct groups of people and to interpret data and socio-economic indicators related to labour market.
