A research report, this paper analyses the formation on citizen competences among university students, from a sample of 252 students in Bogotá D.C., Colombia. This is made through the design of a Likert questionnaire to analyse 4 categories: participatory democracy, social responsibility, the concept of person and human rights awareness. A lack of clarity in the concepts of State, Social State of Law, democracy, and person, among others was evidenced. Similarly, it was determined the importance of establishing clear criteria on a humanist, citizen and political university formation, as well as to create spaces in the classroom to ponder upon the categories studied in the personal and social levels.
