The purpose of this paper is to consider, the possibilities both of formal and informal learning and their relationship to competence development within higher education. Design/methodology/approach - An explorative, qualitative study based on focus groups was designed using different groups from formal and informal learning settings. Findings - The development of key competencies is based both on cognitive and non-cognitive dispositions and asks for multiple contexts. Through combining formal and informal learning settings within higher education - as part of a new learning culture - a variety of contexts can be given and competence development can be enhanced. Research limitations/implications - While aspects of both formal and informal learning settings could be identified, the interdependencies between them remain elusive. Practical implications - Based on the findings, some main aspects for acquiring competencies can be pointed out that may be crucial in higher education settings. Originality/value - The paper analyses the implications for both formal and informal learning settings of new ways of developing key competencies within higher education.
