- Non-traditional students in higher education: barriers to learning and professional insertionPublication . Almeida, António Fragoso de; Quintas, Helena; Campos Goncalves, Teresa IsabelThis article emerges from two research projects focused on non-traditional students in higher education. Our objectives aims to understand the barriers of learning and academic success, considering the perspectives of the several social actors in the academia; and to understand the barriers of the same students had in their transition to the work environment. The results show that a set of situational and institutional factors work as obstacles to these students. The results also show that age is a determinant factor regarding hiring and that the characteristics of the labour market today make hard the professional insertion of non-traditional undergraduates.
