Descripción
Sumario:The Bologna Process has led to the implementation of new methodologies at university that may influence students in such a way that new factors may play a relevant role in explaining academic performance. The aim of this paper is to analyse the influence of a range of factors on students' performance by comparing results with previous contributions. The study focused on management and business administration students. Results confirm the existence of factors in line with previous studies. However, other factors such as personal organization and planning, or participation in integration programs have a greater influence than in the past. We therefore believe that universities should place more emphasis on training organizational skills and study habits, as well as on promoting tutorial action plans to help improve students' academic performance.
