The Faculty of Geography and History of the ȤѶֲַ has a Tutorial Action Plan for the centre’s degrees under which activities are organised, some of them collectively and others more personalized, aimed at guiding students in different aspects of their academic life and professional future.
//Գٰ/ڲܱٲ-Dzھ-ٴǰ/-Dz-…
When a degree suspension occurs, the ȤѶֲַ guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.
If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programs.
The entrance tests to the three Galician universities (Baccalaureate Evaluation for access to the University (ABAU) and for people over 25 and 45 years old) are organized by the Interuniversity Commission of Galicia (CIUG). To apply for a place, students must meet one of the following access requirements established in article 3 of RD 412/2014:
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent and pass the university entrance test.
• Meet the requirements for access to university in the educational systems of Member States of the European Union or other States with which Spain has signed international agreements on this matter.
• Have passed the university entrance test for those over 25 years of age, for those over 40 years of age with work or professional experience or the test for those over 45 years of age.
• Possess a degree in higher vocational training, teaching of plastic arts and design or higher sports technician, or equivalent qualifications.
• Have an official university degree, master's degree or a title corresponding to the previous organization of university education (university diploma, technical architect, technical engineer, graduate, architect, engineer) or equivalent titles.
• Have completed partial foreign or Spanish university studies, or who, upon completing foreign university studies, have not obtained their homologation in Spain and wish to continue studies at a Spanish university. In this case, it will be an essential requirement that the corresponding university recognize at least 30 ECTS credits.
• Be able to access the university according to educational regulations prior to Organic Law 8/2013, not included in the previous sections.
In general, there are the following access routes to the University:
- University access test (ABAU) Once you have finished high school, in order to access a university degree, you must pass the Baccalaureate Evaluation for access to the University.
- Access from Vocational Training If you have an official title of higher vocational training technician, higher plastic arts and design technician or higher sports technician, or titles, diplomas or studies declared equivalent or approved in the Spanish educational system, you can access to study a degree at the university. Applications will be ordered according to the average grade of the higher technical degree completed out of a maximum of 10. If you wish to improve your admission grade for degree studies, you can take the voluntary part of the ABAU test.
- Access test for people over 25 years of age This test can be taken by people who are over 25 years of age in the year in which the test is held and who do not have any academic qualifications that give access to the university through another means.
- People over 45 years of age Those over 45 years of age can study official degree qualifications after passing an adapted entrance test.
- Access over 40 through validation of work experience.
Access for those over 40 years of age to the Degree in Art History through validation of the professional experience that has been designed will be carried out taking into account the suitable professional profiles and the personal interview. The level of professional qualification required of the applicant will be that corresponding to the professional qualifications of the professional families and levels of the National Catalogue of Professional Qualifications (CNCP), prepared by the National Institute of Qualifications (INCUAL).
The following list of professional families and levels with access to the degree in Art History has been established by the University of Santiago:
List of professional family members and levels with access to the degree
- Hospitality and Tourism: Level 2
- Image and Sound Communication: Level 2.
- Sociocultural and Community Services: Level 2.
- Graphic Arts: Level 2.
- Administration and Management: Level 2.
On academic and scientific terms, with the renovation of the degree, proposed now, we aim at four objectives:
a) Incorporate to art history, music and cinema which already enjoyed a wide tradition in the existent curriculum up to today in the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, new contents such as photography, audiovisuals, digital, daily life aesthetics, manifestations related to material culture and the history of design and fashion, according to the international trends, that under the most horizontal visual and cultural studies, try to overcome the exclusive orientation of Art History of the last century towards the stylistic and temporal discourses, and the contents of the Fine Arts Museums and the most institutional and academic art and architecture.
b) Open the degree to a global world, taking advantage of the strategic situation of Galicia in the Atlantic with its orientation to America, but also Spain's towards the Mediterranean.
c) Improve the complex of systematic and basic knowledge, encouraging the transversal knowledge and equating it to the rest of the Art History studies of the Spanish nation and other European Countries. The aim is to offer a solid theoretic-practical training with the integration of the local into the international discourse, less Eurocentric.

Mobility
Student mobility is regulated through the “Regulation of inter-university exchange.” Exchange programmes are managed through the International Relations Office, such as national exchange programmes (SICUE) as well as Europeans (ERASMUS) and from outside the European Union (exchanges with Latin American countries or English-speaking countries):
/gl/servizos/area/internacional
Specific information sessions are held for the Faculty's students dedicated to the mobility programs coinciding with the calls: an information session on the Erasmus program with the presence of the Academic Manager of Mobility and the Centre Manager in the month of December, and another specific information on the SICUE program in the month of February. As for the host students, a reception session is organized in the month of October, Welcome Day, in which they are informed and oriented about the centre and the studies, while at the same time they are put in contact with the academic coordinators, who will act as tutors, and the Centre staff involved in their care.
Internships
They are optional and are offered in the second semester of 3rd year and you can obtain up to a maximum of 12 credits for academic recognition of external internships and/or accreditation of skills.
The internships are aimed at placing students in real professional scenarios, which favor the acquisition of knowledge and putting into practice the skills and abilities necessary for their future employment. Professional contexts are sought for students to observe, analyse, reflect, and learn to make decisions and act. They also allow approaching the professional world from different dimensions and the development, in a specific space-time context, of the fundamental professional competences in the degree.
The Internships have personal tutoring by both the professional tutor and the academic tutor.
• Teaching.
• Cultural tourism.
• Heritage protection/ promotion.
• Museology.
• Galleries/Art market.
• Cultural Management.
The TFG involves the completion by each student and individually of a project, report, or original study under the supervision of one or more academic tutors in which the training content received, abilities, skills and abilities acquired during the course are integrated and developed during the degree studies.

The Faculty of Geography and History of the ȤѶֲַ has a Tutorial Action Plan for the centre’s degrees under which activities are organised, some of them collectively and others more personalized, aimed at guiding students in different aspects of their academic life and professional future.
//Գٰ/ڲܱٲ-Dzھ-ٴǰ/-Dz-…
When a degree suspension occurs, the ȤѶֲַ guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.
If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programs.
The entrance tests to the three Galician universities (Baccalaureate Evaluation for access to the University (ABAU) and for people over 25 and 45 years old) are organized by the Interuniversity Commission of Galicia (CIUG). To apply for a place, students must meet one of the following access requirements established in article 3 of RD 412/2014:
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent and pass the university entrance test.
• Meet the requirements for access to university in the educational systems of Member States of the European Union or other States with which Spain has signed international agreements on this matter.
• Have passed the university entrance test for those over 25 years of age, for those over 40 years of age with work or professional experience or the test for those over 45 years of age.
• Possess a degree in higher vocational training, teaching of plastic arts and design or higher sports technician, or equivalent qualifications.
• Have an official university degree, master's degree or a title corresponding to the previous organization of university education (university diploma, technical architect, technical engineer, graduate, architect, engineer) or equivalent titles.
• Have completed partial foreign or Spanish university studies, or who, upon completing foreign university studies, have not obtained their homologation in Spain and wish to continue studies at a Spanish university. In this case, it will be an essential requirement that the corresponding university recognize at least 30 ECTS credits.
• Be able to access the university according to educational regulations prior to Organic Law 8/2013, not included in the previous sections.
In general, there are the following access routes to the University:
- University access test (ABAU) Once you have finished high school, in order to access a university degree, you must pass the Baccalaureate Evaluation for access to the University.
- Access from Vocational Training If you have an official title of higher vocational training technician, higher plastic arts and design technician or higher sports technician, or titles, diplomas or studies declared equivalent or approved in the Spanish educational system, you can access to study a degree at the university. Applications will be ordered according to the average grade of the higher technical degree completed out of a maximum of 10. If you wish to improve your admission grade for degree studies, you can take the voluntary part of the ABAU test.
- Access test for people over 25 years of age This test can be taken by people who are over 25 years of age in the year in which the test is held and who do not have any academic qualifications that give access to the university through another means.
- People over 45 years of age Those over 45 years of age can study official degree qualifications after passing an adapted entrance test.
- Access over 40 through validation of work experience.
Access for those over 40 years of age to the Degree in Art History through validation of the professional experience that has been designed will be carried out taking into account the suitable professional profiles and the personal interview. The level of professional qualification required of the applicant will be that corresponding to the professional qualifications of the professional families and levels of the National Catalogue of Professional Qualifications (CNCP), prepared by the National Institute of Qualifications (INCUAL).
The following list of professional families and levels with access to the degree in Art History has been established by the University of Santiago:
List of professional family members and levels with access to the degree
- Hospitality and Tourism: Level 2
- Image and Sound Communication: Level 2.
- Sociocultural and Community Services: Level 2.
- Graphic Arts: Level 2.
- Administration and Management: Level 2.
On academic and scientific terms, with the renovation of the degree, proposed now, we aim at four objectives:
a) Incorporate to art history, music and cinema which already enjoyed a wide tradition in the existent curriculum up to today in the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, new contents such as photography, audiovisuals, digital, daily life aesthetics, manifestations related to material culture and the history of design and fashion, according to the international trends, that under the most horizontal visual and cultural studies, try to overcome the exclusive orientation of Art History of the last century towards the stylistic and temporal discourses, and the contents of the Fine Arts Museums and the most institutional and academic art and architecture.
b) Open the degree to a global world, taking advantage of the strategic situation of Galicia in the Atlantic with its orientation to America, but also Spain's towards the Mediterranean.
c) Improve the complex of systematic and basic knowledge, encouraging the transversal knowledge and equating it to the rest of the Art History studies of the Spanish nation and other European Countries. The aim is to offer a solid theoretic-practical training with the integration of the local into the international discourse, less Eurocentric.

Mobility
Student mobility is regulated through the “Regulation of inter-university exchange.” Exchange programmes are managed through the International Relations Office, such as national exchange programmes (SICUE) as well as Europeans (ERASMUS) and from outside the European Union (exchanges with Latin American countries or English-speaking countries):
/gl/servizos/area/internacional
Specific information sessions are held for the Faculty's students dedicated to the mobility programs coinciding with the calls: an information session on the Erasmus program with the presence of the Academic Manager of Mobility and the Centre Manager in the month of December, and another specific information on the SICUE program in the month of February. As for the host students, a reception session is organized in the month of October, Welcome Day, in which they are informed and oriented about the centre and the studies, while at the same time they are put in contact with the academic coordinators, who will act as tutors, and the Centre staff involved in their care.
Internships
They are optional and are offered in the second semester of 3rd year and you can obtain up to a maximum of 12 credits for academic recognition of external internships and/or accreditation of skills.
The internships are aimed at placing students in real professional scenarios, which favor the acquisition of knowledge and putting into practice the skills and abilities necessary for their future employment. Professional contexts are sought for students to observe, analyse, reflect, and learn to make decisions and act. They also allow approaching the professional world from different dimensions and the development, in a specific space-time context, of the fundamental professional competences in the degree.
The Internships have personal tutoring by both the professional tutor and the academic tutor.
• Teaching.
• Cultural tourism.
• Heritage protection/ promotion.
• Museology.
• Galleries/Art market.
• Cultural Management.
The TFG involves the completion by each student and individually of a project, report, or original study under the supervision of one or more academic tutors in which the training content received, abilities, skills and abilities acquired during the course are integrated and developed during the degree studies.
