Faculty of Philology and Translation
The first 25 years of the Faculty of Philology and Translation
On 10 February 1999, the then Faculty of Humanities of the University of Vigo approved, at the relevant faculty meeting, its new name, which is still in use today. Shortly thereafter, it was ratified by Decree 216/1999 of 15 July (DOG 26 July), which officially marked the birth of the Faculty of Philology and Translation. This name, which brings together disciplines with a long tradition, encompasses the fundamental part of the humanities studies at the University of Vigo.
25 years of work, which we begin to celebrate today, with our hopes set on a future committed to the responsibility that the arts and humanities have to offer answers to the social challenges of our time.
Welcome to these first 25 years.
