Soft skills are getting more and more valuable contributing to improve the employability of students. In the modern economy the need to work with people from different countries and cultures arises very frequently. In this scenario, team work and communication skills in an international environment become highly valuable assets. Nevertheless, despite their value, these skills are usually not trained in undergraduate degrees. MUTW courses fill in this gap without demanding for costly curricula changes. In this chapter we analyze the results from the first MUTW pilot edition. This edition of MUTW involved 21 final-year undergraduate students from 11 higher education institutions belonging to nine European countries. Students were organized in two teams, one with 9 and the other with 12 students, to develop their capstone project. The main outcomes confirm our hypothesis that MUTW improves team work and communication skills in an international setting. The main benefits of MUTW-like projects for the main stakeholders are discussed along with the challenges one is expected to face during such a course unit.
