Thisstudy aims to analyse the self-perception of transversals skills among students of businessadministration through a service-learning and the possible influence of gender. A questionnairecomprising 57 variables using a Likert scale was administered to a sample of 210 students, thedata were analysed, and statistic significance tests were carried out.
