There seems to be consensus regarding the need of recognition of non-formal and informal learning, given its impact in the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The present study is aimed to provide an analysis of university students' non-formal and informal learning. By using a mixed-method approach, it analyzed factors behind non-formal and informal learning as well as the use and contribution of this learning to achieve specific learning outcomes at a Chilean university. It provides suggestions for improving the university's capacity to enhance non-formal and informal learning.
