The main objective was to evaluate whether a brief training intervention could improve the knowledge levels and financial self-perception of the participants. A quasi-experimental methodology was applied using pre and post-course surveys, employing a quantitative and descriptive approach. The sample consisted of 25 students in the initial evaluation and 22 in the final evaluation, belonging to various areas of study, mostly young people between 18 and 25 years old. The results showed a significant improvement in average scores and an increase in the self-perceived level of financial knowledge. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the course as a basic financial literacy tool, especially in populations with limited prior training in the subject. Likewise, the relevance of incorporating financial education as a transversal component in university education is highlighted, favoring informed decision-making and personal economic planning. Despite the limitations of the sample size, the study provides evidence on the need to promote inclusive and sustainable financial education programs in the academic field.

A lo largo del cursado, los estudiantes llevaron adelante proyectos de investigación–servicio en los que articularon sus saberes de inglés con los contenidos propios de sus carreras y con la resolución de problemáticas reales de la comunidad. El proceso incluyó la lectura y el análisis de textos académicos en inglés para la elaboración del marco teórico, la selección de un problema relevante, el diseño e implementación de una metodología de investigación, y la comparación de resultados con los aportes de autores especializados. Cada proyecto culminó con la redacción de un informe final en formato de paper, presentado en español e inglés, siguiendo una plantilla estandarizada. Los autores
