Abstract

Quality is crucial within the university apparatus and even more so when transversal competences are  emphasized especially in the Andean regions. The objective  of the study was to determine the relationship of the perception of the  quality of the educational service with the transversal competences in the student body of the Faculty of Legal, Accounting and Social Sciences of the Technological University of Los Andes, subsidiary Andahuaylas, Apurimac 2021. The methodology  of the study was quantitative, the collection of study data  was carried out through geolocation, the sample was composed of 141 university students from an Andean region of deep Peru. The results show that quality was perceived in 5.7% as never before; 18.3% almost never, 43.3% sometimes, 27.8% almost always and 4.9% always and with respect to transversal competences, it could be revealed that 5.7% have never developed them; 38.4% from time to time, 35.7% almost always and 20.2% always, completing the 263 participants. Conclusion: At 95% confidence, the very low level correlation between both variables was assured. In the end, it is intended to reaffirm that the elementary quality conditions remain intact and unchanged since the licensing was achieved in said university, however, they should increase their level to achieve again an institutional relicensing by the SUNEDU and tempt university accreditations in the near future.
