Abstract

In recent years universities have undergone structural changes, with the objective of harmonizing the European Higher Education System. This process has culminated with the entry into the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This study makes two key contributions. First, it provides an indicator used to evaluate the competences of graduates from A Coruña University and the competences demanded by the workforce. Then, it also offers relevant information on what competences are most valued and sought for by the business world. This information will be instrumental for the implementation of EHEA, for which graduate competences is a key part of University planning.
