Abstract

The words “skills” and “competences” have appeared intensely in the academic life of the European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as in other parts of the world in the past decades. The present study reviews the endorsement of skills and competences under the EU and the Bologna Agreement and attends their evolution through the steering documents that aim to achieve the integration of European Higher Education (HE) systems as well as the enhancement of European graduates’ employability.
