Programa de Simultaneidad del Grado en Español: Estudios Lingüísticos y Literarios y el Grado en Gallego y Portugués: Estudios Lingüísticos y Literarios

Upon completion of the Dual Degree Programme in Spanish: Linguistic and Literary Studies and Galician and Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies, students will be fully qualified in the following areas:

• To understand and apply the methods and techniques of linguistic and literary analysis within the framework of Hispanic and Galician-Portuguese studies
• To understand the theoretical trends in linguistics and literary studies in the English-speaking world and in Galician-Portuguese and Hispanic contexts
• To have a command of the grammar of the Spanish, Galician and Portuguese languages
• To have an advanced knowledge of Spanish and Galician-Portuguese literature
• To be able to critically analyse, evaluate and synthesise linguistic and literary information in the Spanish and Galician-Portuguese fields
• To understand linguistic variation within the Hispanic and Galician-Portuguese domains
• To understand the internal and external history of the Spanish, Galician and Portuguese languages
• To understand textual typologies and formulate proposals for linguistic and/or textual correction in Spanish, Galician and Portuguese

Graduates will have a high level of specialisation in the Spanish and Galician-Portuguese linguistic and literary fields. As a result, they will enter a similarly specialised professional field in which 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 and cultural promotion are emerging as the main career paths.

The Faculty of Philology has partnership agreements with over 20 organisations to enable students to gain exposure to the world of work. These agreements, which are renewed annually, facilitate the organisation of extracurricular work placements. In this way, students gain exposure to the publishing industry, technology centres, libraries, cultural institutions and so on, and can see for themselves the career opportunities available to them after graduation.

This programme was designed to enable students to combine the Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish: Linguistic and Literary Studies with the Bachelor’s Degree in Galician and Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies, which had respectively replaced the former Bachelor’s Degree in Hispanic Philology and the Bachelor’s Degree in Galician Philology. In establishing these degree programmes, consideration was also given to the range of courses offered by various European universities, where it is very common to study at least two languages in combination (France, Italy, Portugal, etc.) and their respective literatures, as well as subjects such as linguistics, literary theory and translation.

This programme was drawn up in accordance with the “Specific Regulations for the Concurrent Degree Programme in Spanish: Linguistic and Literary Studies and the Degree in Galician and Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies”, which were approved by the UDC Governing Council at its meeting on 23 March 2015. The draft proposal was presented publicly, debated and finally approved by the Faculty Board.

Student mobility

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.

Particular centre actions

The Faculty of Philology at the UDC has a long tradition of involvement and cooperation in the development of 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 existing agreements, students enrolled on the Dual Degree Programme in Spanish: Linguistic and Literary Studies and Galician and Portuguese: Linguistic and Literary Studies have the opportunity to complete part of their degree at a Spanish or foreign university.
