Abstract (2. Language):
In general the universities focus on teaching professional information rather than soft skills like creativity,
problem solving, personal communication, writing and speaking skills. The students learn how to become an
engineer, an accountant or a dentist, but they don’t learn soft skills. Without soft skills, every university
graduate faces too much trouble in their professional live. With university education, the graduates can
practice their profession; they can design a machine, they can cure an illness, they can develop economic
growth models but cannot communicate effectively, do teamwork or solve problems. Hence, thousands of
dollars are spent for soft skills training in corporate life. Besides, these trainings are short and insufficient; and
there occurs the cost of time and money because of lacking soft skills. University students should acquire soft
skills before they graduate. In this study, the methods for students to acquire soft skills during their higher
education will be evaluated.
