History

The Faculty of Management and Public Administration of Pontevedra was created in 2022 by Decree 133/2022, of 7 July, in its article 2. ^{[2] [3] [4]} Until then, Management and Public Administration studies were integrated into the Faculty of Social Sciences and Communication. ^{[5] [2]}

In 1999, by Decree 250/1999 of 9 September, article 4, the Faculty of Social Sciences introduced the studies of Management and Public Administration, the only ones of this type in Galicia, being the second university degree that can be obtained in this faculty. ^[6]

In 2009, a new degree in Management and Public Administration was approved by Decree 385/2009 of 27 August 2009 of the Regional Ministry of Education, in Article 3. ^[7] During the academic year 2009–2010, significant changes were made to the structure of the curriculum and the internships, ^[8] and the new programme was published by the resolution of 15 October 2010. ^[9]

The Faculty of Management and Public Administration is currently located in the same building as the Faculty of Communication on the A Xunqueira campus. In the future, a building will be constructed to house it in the Tafisa area, on the other side of the Lérez, together with the new Faculty of Design. ^[10]
