Abstract

In the context of an expanding university system, changes in the graduate profile and the growing demands at graduation time have become a focus of deep reflection. In front of the possibility to apply more entrance filters or evaluate secondary education final results, the proposal is to focus on the formative trajectories conceived as the crucial factor to guarantee quality and relevance of the learning outcomes conducive to the graduate profile. The notion of Enabling Competencies is introduced in the reflection and curriculum design in order to favour the integration of learning outcomes to be achieved at the end of the first two years of university so students can face successfully their professional education.
