The transformation of tertiary education faces challenges that go hand in hand with growing requirements on the competences of university teachers. Quality assessment of teachers when it comes to their competences and competence approaches in general is of key importance in this process. However, teachers’ competence profiles are not unified even now, not to mention the absence of competence assessment criteria. The aim of the study is to offer a literature review on university teachers’ competences, with consideration of research methods and tools used. Altogether, through the Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases we summarised 35 studies, 15 theoretical and 20 empirical. Our analysis shows that over the past 10 years studies have primarily focused on digital competences, with the majority of research projects being of quantitative nature using original questionnaires due to the absence of standardised measurement tools in the field.
