Upgrade Your Social Competence—A Learning Story describes a course in social competence planned and carried out for a group of first year students in the Degree Programme in Information Technology at Novia University of Applied Sciences in spring 2010. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the need of social competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) as an official part of the curriculum in order to ensure that the students achieve good levels of social competence as part of their studies. Furthermore the report presents a model for learning social competencies in for instance a university of applied science. We start the discussion by reflecting on what social competence stands for in literature and research and derive from different sources a practicable definition. The research method draws upon a constructivist paradigm where we choose to enter a learning process with a specific group of students and learn together.
