Via Universitària helps us to better understand students and their time at university
On 15 May the Vives Network of Universities presented the results and findings of the Via Universitària project (2017-2019), a survey study in which more than 40,000 students from twenty universities in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands and Andorra took part. Anna Prades, project manager at AQU Catalunya and technical director of the project, gave the presentation.
The aim of the Via Universitària programme is to better understand the quality of life among university students in Catalonia, their study conditions and environments, their connection with university as an institution, their cultural habits, their economic constraints, together with their expectations, values and beliefs about higher education.

The requirements of the labour market have transformed over time mainly in occupations where technological change has had an important impact on job tasks and functions. As a result, enterprises have gradually adapted the skills requirements for new recruitment and staff training according to their new needs.
One of the major difficulties facing the main economic and social agents is being able to identify in advance the trend of skills requirements in the labour market. Such information is crucial for enhancing an agent's adaptability to changing requirements. Anna Prades - Head of Internationalisation and Knowledge Generation Department
