The Faculty of Social Sciences of Pontevedra, which is the origin of the current Faculty of Communication, was created by Decree 192/1993, of 29 July, in its article 19. [2] The degree in Advertising and Public relations, the only one in the Galician university system, was the first to be implemented in the Faculty.

The Faculty of Social Sciences began operating in Pontevedra on 10 October 1994 in a temporary building, the former Provincial Hospice in Sierra Street, where it remained until 2000, [5] when the new large Faculty building built on the A Xunqueira Campus, designed by the Santiago de Compostela architect José Carlos Arrojo Lois, began its activities.

In 1999, by Decree 250/1999 of 9 September, Article 4, management and public administration studies were proposed as a second university degree to be obtained in the college. [7]

In May 2003, the faculty was allowed to offer a degree in audiovisual communication and the name of the faculty was changed from Social Sciences to Faculty of Social Sciences and Communication. [8] [9]

On 7 July 2022, by Decree 133/2022, the Faculty of Public Management and Administration was created on the Pontevedra campus, and the bachelor's degree in public management and administration and the Master in Public Management and Institutional Leadership are now offered in this faculty.
