Abstract

The aim of this study has been to analyse those specific variables which take place in dropout and also in students�" profiles and paths corresponding to those who drop out in their first or second year. As a result of the increase in dropout research a myriad of methodologies are regularly used to materialize and reduce the effect of university dropout. This piece of research is based on an in-depth interview with a student who dropped out her Pedagogy degree studies at the Faculty of Education, University of Granada. This cross curricular study has been carried out following a bibliographical-narrative methodology. Data have been gathered through a semi-structured in-depth interview following Torrado�"s model (2012). Results allow to characterize dropout and the main reasons that take part in the process are thoroughly discussed.
