Abstract
There is an ongoing debate in higher education about the extent to which both a knowledge base and a competence profile are needed, and how these two elements can be successfully combined. In this context, it is necessary to be aware that a) competence is not the same as academic knowledge and b) academic competence is not the same as professional competence. With regard to b), solving a mathematical task for examination purposes is not the same as a) an engineer using mathematics to calculate the weight of a bridge to ensure pressure security.
