Summary/Abstract: The article illustrates the results of a survey carried out to analyse the development of social competencies at the university in students’ perceptions. The study’s main aim was to discover the experiences and opinions of young studying adults in this aspect. According to the gathered qualitative data, students expect more practical and socially engaging activities. They point out the need to diagnose and support them in their social development, especially by organising individually tailored courses, mentoring, and training with soft-competence specialists. The article closes with a summary and practical suggestions concerning social competencies development at university.
