The present paper aims at revealing the place of the development of civic competences in the citizen's formative dynamics with higher education. The paper is part of the results of the theoretical research carried out by the authors about the civic formation of the university students. The understanding of the civic formation as a process developer of competences for the sociotransformation, the determination of the civic competences that are sought to develop in the Cuban youths with university education, as well as the precision of their functions and concretion ways are important moments of the present valuation. The classification of the basic civic competences and the definition of the sociotransforming competence as the integration of all of them contribute to the upgrading of inadequacies present in the theoretical referents on the topic and in the educational practice.
