2023/2024 · 240 credits

What you learn

The degree, with a total of 240 credits distributed in 60 credits of basic training, 150 of compulsory subjects, 6 optional credits, 6 credits in obligatory external internships and 18 credits in the Final Degree Project (TFG). The training integrates very diverse subjects and disciplines: biology, economics, graphic expression, geography, geology, computer science, mathematics and applied statistics, composition, projects and urbanism, geomatics and topography, architecture, environment, botany, edaphology, plant treatment, art, history, ecology, environmental analysis, hydrology, construction and facilities, structures and sociology. Highlight the importance of the 6 subjects of cross-application knowledge workshops. The teaching is organized in two venues looking for the maximum academic coherence, for that reason the teaching of the 1st and 2nd year in the EPS of Engineering (Campus Terra, Lugo) is programmed with programmed and organized trips to the ETSAC (Sustainable Campus, A Coruña) . The 3rd and 4th year courses are developed in the ETSAC (Sustainable Campus, A Coruña). In addition, the participation of professors of the Department of Geography of the USC is contemplated. With this objective, students are required to enroll and study (although not exceeded) all subjects taught at the EPS of Engineering (Campus Terra, Lugo) before accessing the third course based at the ETSAC (Sustainable Campus, A Coruña). It is not required to pass the totality of the subjects, only to study them. This requirement allows the articulation of concrete solutions (complementary works, tutorials, corrections of work done, etc.) once it has been completed and in the case of not having passed a subject, allowing it to be overcome from the A Coruña Campus.

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

Both the School of Architecture (UDC) and the Polytechnic School of Engineering (USC) have numerous agreements with European universities which facilitates the realization of exchange programs (Erasmus, Bilateral or SICUE). External Practices are mandatory for what is available in an agreement with different companies, public bodies and with the Galician Federation of Municipalities and Provinces. In addition, extracurricular practices are contemplated.
