One university, three campuses

Â鶹¹û¶³ has been consolidating since its creation in 1990 as a reference for training and innovation, both in Galicia and internationally.

We are a public university with presence in the cities of Ourense, Pontevedra and Vigo. Based on teaching, research and transfer, the three campuses of the Â鶹¹û¶³ stand out for their specialisation while maintaining complementarity between them. These are, therefore, three specialised campuses where you can study undergraduate degrees, double degrees, master's degrees and doctoral programmes, in some thirty centres for training and research.

A network of its own centres completes the map of infrastructures for research at the Â鶹¹û¶³.

The campuses are also equipped with facilities for study and for training and leisure alternatives, with a continuous programme of cultural, sports and volunteer activities.
