In the first step, the participating universities were asked to indicate all ICT study programmes in these institutions offered by any department or faculty. The question was then posed as to how these programmes relate to the core Generic Skills Profiles defined by the Consortium. In this exercise universities identified the extent to which the outcome of the programmes meets the skills requirements of each core Generic Skills Profile (fully, partly or not at all).
The result shows that many of these European ICT curricula cover all the core skills profiles to a certain degree, although the extent of coverage varies widely.
