The digital skills they need to have to be able to teach their students innovatively and dynamically and ensure a closer and more inclusive teaching-learning process. However, it seems to us that students have been forgotten when it comes to their digital skills and the importance they have in their learning and in acquiring skills in the most varied areas. It is, in this sense, that the need arose to carry out this research to determine the level of digital skills of higher education students. The investigation was carried out through a case study at the Higher School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Portugal), using a questionnaire survey, adapted from the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp 2.2). Although there are positive results, it is absolutely necessary to promote continuous learning in this area so that students progress through the different levels of digital proficiency, as digital technologies have undoubtedly become one of the main tools of the 21st century.engDigComp 2.2Digital skillsHigher educationStudentsTechnologiesconference object10.1007/978-3-031-78155-1_4
