Soft skills

The University of Bologna offers students enrolled in any degree programme courses on soft skills which are aimed at strengthening skills that are considered strategic when entering the world of work.

Soft skills represent "general, broad-based skills related to thinking and cognitive processes, behaviours in social and work settings, ways and abilities to reflect and use learning and self-correcting strategies of conduct. These abilities shape the way the personal work experiences are set up and regulated and are further specified progressively in the course of the person's on-the-job learning and work background."

From 2023 onwards, the soft skills offer will be expanded with  training activities for PhD students particularly in the following areas:

• Enhancing and disseminating research;
• Methods, techniques, and tools;
• Planning your future.
