AB The aim of this paper is to contribute to the body of knowledge about project-basedlearning (PBL) methodology in higher education by describing and analysing interrelations betweencompetencies, and their contribution to knowledge transfer (KT) and students’ rating of the project.The sample consisted of 464 students from the Universities of Huelva (N = 347; 74.8%) and Murcia(N = 117; 25.2%), enrolled in the second year of a degree in either Infant or Primary Education. Data wascollected through a self-administered questionnaire comprising a total of 53 items measuring general,specific, and transversal competencies, as well as students’ rating of the project. Competencies wereselected from the course programmes for the degrees in Infant and Primary Education. Preliminaryresults showed that competencies were moderately to highly acquired after PBL, and that studentsreported notable KT as well as a positive assessment of the project. KT showed a high degreeof association with students’ ratings and was established as a key factor in learning and learnersatisfaction in higher education.
