The interest of this adaptation lies in the fact that it enables us to compare our information about the student's perception of their higher education experience with that of the students of a higher education system considered as an international reference. Validity of the questionnaire based on the fact that it ts designed to assess what students do at university isntead of measuring institutional resources.This informatin might be relevant for identifying action lines within the Lisbon Agenda in relation to the international competitiveness of European higher education.
