| Sumario: | This study explores the experiences of Spanish graduates with disabilities who successfully completed a university degree in the field of Social Sciences. The research employed a qualitative methodology, using individual semi-structured interviews to explore factors that contributed to the university success of 32 graduates with disabilities. The information was analysed through an inductive system of categories and codes. The findings are presented in three main areas that highlight self-efficacy as a key factor for university success: personal characteristics that acted as facilitators, coping strategies for learning difficulties, and actions to build relationships within the university community to overcome obstacles. The study concludes that self-efficacy is an ability that helps people with disabilities to overcome barriers and achieve university success |
