Description
Summary:In recent years, in the context of the European Higher Education Area, we have witnessed a growing interest in improving skills among university students. In addition, the professional world asks the University to provide formative opportunities that train students to fulfill their roles as working professionals. In order to respond to these requirements, the University of Navarra has offered, for more than 10 years, an open-elective course entitled “Formation in Professional Skills (I and II)”. The objective of this course is to collaborate in the formation of university students in those skills which are particularly valued by businesses. In this paper, we will explain the content of this course, in particular its structure, methodology and evaluation parameters, along with the role of the professor-tutor.
