Assesing new systems of entrance to University for adults people over 40 and 45. the candidates’ opinions

Abstract

The incorporation of our educative system to the European Space of Higher Education has implied a deep change in our university curricula. Education in competences has become the key to develop our programs. It also enables us to create new ways to university entrance through the certification of work experience and validation of competences (for adults over 40), or without experience (for adults over 45). Our report aims at describing and analyzing the results of accessing university process which have been designed and put into practice in Huelva for people over 40 and 45. In addition to this, we would like to describe their views of the systems which have been carried out. The results have been very satisfactory and surprising not only by the number of candidates but also by the positive candidates assessments.
