This violation is directly linked to Sustainable Development Goal #3 Health and Well-being , which has as its ultimate purpose to improve global health, address health inequalities and face challenges such as communicable diseases, maternal and child health and universal access to quality medical services. On the other hand, this research aims to know the factors that influence the preferences of students graduating from the Law program of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), in relation to specific areas of legal science and their future specialization. It also analyzes how the competencies acquired in the preferred subjects can be useful to solve global legal problems and promote practices of social co-responsibility. For this purpose, a mixed approach was used, employing the systematic, theoretical-deductive, analysis and synthesis, and exegetical method, for which relevant sentences were analyzed and surveys were applied to graduates. As a result, it was determined that the main preferences of the graduates are in the areas of Criminal Law, Civil Procedure and Administrative Law, and it was also evidenced that the competencies acquired in these areas are valued by the graduates as important for their professional future.
