For this purpose, a descriptive study of this admission profile has been carried out. In addition, their educational strengths and weaknesses have been studied, as well as whether accessing a Degree after having studied vocational training affects their performance and dropout. According to the results, students mostly choose the Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and the Bachelor's Degree in Economics, with a better performance in the subjects that are similar to those previously studied in Vocational Training. At the same time, they show deficiencies in the quantitative area, being the access route a determining factor in the result.application/pdfeng© 2023 International Conference on Higher Education Advances.
