Análisis de la formación universitaria recibida por los titulados universitarios españoles con discapacidad auditiva en la adquisición de las competencias profesionales

The aim of this study was to understand how university graduates with a hearing impairment in Spain perceived their studies. The method used was quantitative-qualitative and descriptive. The participating sample consisted of 84 Spanish university graduates with a hearing impairment. The results allow us to confirm that: university graduates with a hearing impairment, in general, are not provided with appropriate/sufficient support at university to develop their professional competence; these graduates believe that employers consider good command of professional competences to be pivotal; professionalizing practices during university studies are an opportunity for the employment of graduates with hear impairment; finally, it is highlighted that university lecturers lack knowledge of the needs and difficulties of students with hearing impairment.
