Upon completion of the Bachelor’s Degree in Galician and Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies, students will have fully developed the following skills:
Graduates of this degree programme will possess a high level of specialisation in the Galician-Portuguese linguistic and literary field. As a result, they will enter a professional world that is equally specialised, with teaching in both the public and private sectors (language schools, schools, faculties, secondary schools, lecturing posts at foreign universities, etc.), linguistic and socio-cultural consultancy, translation, linguistic standardisation and cultural promotion emerging as the main career paths.
The curriculum for the Bachelor’s Degree in Galician-Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies is structured over four academic years organised into four-month terms, except in the second year, where two modules are year-long. In the first two years, all modules are compulsory and are shared with the Bachelor’s degrees in Spanish and English.
Building on this core curriculum, in the third and fourth years each student will be able to specialise in the study of the Galician and Portuguese languages and their respective literatures, supported by complementary and cross-disciplinary modules.
The curriculum comprises 240 credits, of which 120 are taken in the first and second years in the core modules; in the third and fourth years, 78 credits will be taken in compulsory modules, a minimum of 18 in specific modules, a maximum of 18 in general optional modules and 6 in the Final Degree Project.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Galician and Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies was designed with the former Bachelor’s Degree in Galician Philology in mind. At the same time, it also took into account linguistic and literary studies at various European universities, where it is very common to study at least two languages together (France, Italy, Portugal...) and their respective literatures, as well as subjects such as linguistics, literary theory and translation.
By now, the study does not have departments responsible for teaching.
UDC holds student mobility agreements with universities and other third-level institutions across four continents. Students are offered several opportunities each year to apply to study abroad in one of these centres (for a single term or for a whole year), with the guarantee that all credits obtained will be duly recognised in their academic record upon their return.
For each round of applications, the University publishes the list of exchange options available to students and, where relevant, the specific conditions associated with each. Students may also apply to the University for funding for international work experience placements and internships.
Work experience placements are accredited in the student's academic record and the European diploma supplement. Students are free to decide in which host company or academic institution within the EHEA they wish to carry out their placement. To assist them in their search, the University has created an online noticeboard with jobs postings and other news.
Work-study placements in A Coruña are arranged by the International Relations Office (ORI) of the UDC in collaboration with the international relations coordinators in the student’s home university. The general entry criteria, rights and obligations of students, and admission and acceptance procedures for the programme, are regulated by the UDC Mobility Policy.
The Faculty of Philology at the UDC has a long tradition of involvement and cooperation in developing student mobility schemes, particularly within Europe. This facilitates contact with different linguistic, literary, cultural and social contexts in various countries, providing students with clear cultural and personal enrichment. Thus, thanks to the agreements signed, students enrolled on the Bachelor’s Degree in Galician-Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies have the opportunity to complete part of their degree at a Spanish or foreign university. Through the SICUE and ERASMUS-SÓCRATES programmes, students can study for a semester or even a full year at a large number of European universities.
