Resumen

  • On the one hand, this study enabled a review and update of the set of transformations identified in the previous phase that were related to learning processes.

    Throughout 2021, the University of Deusto continued to advance and strengthen the transversal competences that all students are expected to acquire, regardless of their chosen degree. On the other hand, it made it possible to start this comparative analysis of the impact pact as assessed by students and by the companies and organisations that host and employ our students and/or graduates (a detailed analysis of which is provided in the Deusto Social Lab Report No. 4). With regard to this latter aspect, it is particularly pertinent to underscore the alignment between the competences most highly valued by employers and those in which our students indicate having achieved the greatest degree of proficiency. In addition to the assessment of the different transversal competences in terms of the importance given to them and the level of proficiency achieved, final year students were also able to assess the activities carried out during their learning process. The majority believed that activities with a stronger practical component, a closer connection to real-world contexts (both local and international) and a focus on business or sector-specific knowledge—such as curricular and extracurricular placements, final projects/dissertations, coursework and international experiences—make the strongest contribution to the development of the aforementioned competences. Moreover, it is these activities that are most in demand for the future. For this fourth report, it was considered relevant to examine an area of great significance to the University—not only because it lies at the core of our identity, but also because it is of considerable interest to our key stakeholders: the employability of our graduates. In keeping with the University of Deusto’s commitment to supporting individuals throughout their lives, this report reflects on and analyses the University’s social impact through its contribution to one of the most vital aspects of any society: employment—specifically, the quality and sustainability of employment among its graduates (former students).
