The University of Cádiz assumes the commitment to promote values ​​that it has incorporated as an institution among its purposes, as well as those contemplated in the legal framework for higher education institutions, and those agreed for the autonomous community of Andalusia by the Andalusian Council of Universities. Accordingly, through the annual teaching planning, it is proposed the inclusion of training activities and contents related to aspects such as:

• Democratic values. Cooperation, solidarity, and culture of peace. Commitment to human development and equity. Interculturality and social inclusion.
• Sustainability and environmental commitment. Equitable, responsible and efficient use of resources.

• Development of language skills, and especially the most specific of the Degree. Our Faculty proposes as general criteria that all Philological degrees reach a knowledge of the specific language of the Degree and of a second modern language, and in the case of the Degree in History the student must have acquired the skills related to level A2 of the CEFR.

5. Entrepreneurial skills

 

In terms of entrepreneurial skills, The guide of the entrepreneur; from the idea to the company has been taken as a reference (Valencia, Bancaja-AJEV, 2008). In this document you can find the main qualities that an entrepreneur must develop and which ones the student can acquire by taking the entrepreneurship workshop included in the “Practical” module and by following the itineraries that have been designed with a profile of professional orientation:

 

A) To develop independence, intuition, initiative and vision of the future.

B) To develop creative and innovative ideas and find “competitive advantages” with a view to a clear orientation towards achievement.

C) To acquire self-confidence and desire to excel and learn.

 

The acquisition of these skills would allow the student and future entrepreneur to avoid in advance the main mistakes in the first incursions in the business world: not having the training before starting; not having the business plan in writing; sticking to a single idea; not delegating or overdelivering; misassigning a key position; making a bad choice of partners; ignoring the financial position of the company; selling what the entrepreneur wants and not what the client demands; and not admiting or correcting mistakes in time.
