Summary:In higher education, according to the premise that we support, the diffusion of the notions of professional skills and experience participate in a methodology of change which seeks to break away from previous systems of « modernization ». By promoting new game rules, public power endeavours to establish a hitherto unknown regularisation mechanism in the field of education, one which is based on the economic market and linked to that of the working world.

It is in the light of this movement that we begin to detect the integration of professional skills and experience in the realm of higher education.
