In this thesis, we understand to what extent competency-based training can contribute to improving the qualitative assessment of undergraduate courses in Law in Brazil. In the first chapter, we describe the National Higher Education Assessment System (SINAES) and its three assessment procedures, as well as their respective indicators. In the second chapter, we understand the epistemological and methodological aspects that surround the Undergraduate Law courses, and their analysis for the current evaluation model. Finally, in the third chapter, we propose that the evaluation of undergraduate courses in Law take into account training by competence to outline its qualitative indicators. To this end, our research was bibliographic in nature, with a qualitative approach, and of the descriptive, exploratory and explanatory type, making use of the dialectical method, within an interdisciplinary view of socio-legal phenomena. It was possible to conclude that, even as national curricula and Sinaes assessment procedures formally provide for competency-based training, undergraduate Law courses continue to develop traditional methodologies. In view of this scenario, we argue that competency-based training emerges as a pedagogical instrument capable of being incorporated into existing evaluation criteria and, consequently, contribute to improving the quality of undergraduate Law courses in the country.
