Resumen:
Sumario:In this paper we discuss the education by competences in higher education. We review the bibliography on the fi eld, guided by authors such as Peiró, Roe, and Barnett. We introduce an overview of the main decisions taken by universities in the United States, Europe and Latin America about undergraduate education in general and psychology education in particular. We state the principal challenges of today’s higher education by competences: the professional profi le and its relationship with the society demands, curricula tuning, methodology and evaluation of the teaching programs. Finally, we raise the need of reviewing the concepts of teaching and learning in the education by competences.
