ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cuban Higher Education and in particular Higher Education for Health Sciences are involved in a process of improvement in order to develop the relevance and quality of their graduates, where learning to learn is essential. Objective: to socialize the results of the applied survey to verify that university students learn how to learn in the light of the new changes in Higher Education. Method: the analysis was based on the application of a survey with a reliability index of 0.969, and on the results of a descriptive analysis using the means, standard deviation and the correlation between the different indicators. Results: the students surveyed provided high scores to each of the indicators, showing that university students, particularly those of the Health Sciences, learn how to learn from their first academic year. Conclusion: regardless of whether university students master their individual learning strategies, professors should be mediators between the acquisition of knowledge and skills regarding learning to learn.
