The Transversal Competences of Graduates of University Master’s Degrees

Abstract

Recently, in an interview with employers of a university master’s degree, the importance they gave to transversal competences for these graduates was highlighted. In the Barometer of university employability and employment (2017 Master Edition), presented in February 2018, the vision that the graduates had about the importance of these competences and the level they received in these university degrees was underlined. In this article we will reflect on this important aspect regarding the employment of university students and the role that the University should play about it.
