In an increasingly digitalized world, the perception of digital competencies of students in graduate programs is a critical factor that can influence their academic success and their ability to face professional challenges. This research presents a comprehensive and updated view of the perception of graduate students at the Veraguas Regional University Center of the University of Panama during 2023 concerning to their digital competencies in the learning process, with the objective of contributing valuable information to support the design of more effective educational strategies, consistent with the current challenges of higher education. This is a descriptive non-experimental study based on the quantitative perspective with a non-probabilistic purposive sample of 180 students out of a population of 372. A survey was applied whose pilot test shows a reliable instrument with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.842. It was found that, in the competencies of the information management dimension, students perceive that on average 63.83% of them are frequently used, however, on average 64.19% consider that they rarely put into practice the competencies of the information access dimension. In the knowledge generation dimension, the results do not show a polarization; on average 49.51% use them frequently, 10.07% use them occasionally and 40.42% think they use them very rarely.
