The Faculty of Design of Pontevedra is a university faculty founded in 2022 in the Spanish city of Pontevedra, located in the city centre, in Benito Corbal Street.

Contents

The faculty belongs to the Pontevedra Campus, integrated in the Galician University System and dependent on the University of Vigo. It offers undergraduate and graduate design studies. It is the only faculty of its kind in the northwest of Spain. [2]

History

The process of creating the design faculty in the city of Pontevedra was launched in October 2020. [3] [4]

The Faculty of Design of Pontevedra was created in 2022 by Decree 133/2022, of 7 July, in its article 1. [5] [6] According to the aforementioned decree, the faculty is able to accommodate, in addition to the design degree, other future degrees, both bachelor and master, related to the field of design. Although it was initially planned that classes would start at the Faculty in 2022 with the launch of the Bachelor of Design degree, this was finally postponed due to delays in the administrative procedures and will finally start in September 2023. [7]

The initial provisional headquarters of the Faculty of Design will be located on the floors of the Xunta de Galicia building given over for university purposes in the centre of the city of Pontevedra, at Benito Corbal Street 47. [8] [9] It is planned to construct a specific building that will house the definitive headquarters of the faculty in the Tafisa area, on the left bank of the Lérez river, on the opposite bank to where the A Xunqueira campus is located. [10] Until the construction of the new building in the Tafisa neighbourhood, teaching will take place in the building on Benito Corbal Street and in some of the shared spaces of the Faculty of Fine Arts such as the textile workshops. [11]

Programmes

The Faculty of Design in Pontevedra offers Bachelor's and master's degree courses in the fields of design and creation.

Activities

In the city, design-related activities are also organised in other faculties of the Pontevedra University Campus, such as those related to the National Design Meeting in October 2022. [15]
