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.

Equality Label

The Equality Label has been created to make the effort made by many in our University, who fight everyday to research, teach, transfer, manager and produce feministic and from a gender point of view scientific knowledge visible, and publicly and institutionally acknowledged. This initiative aims to acknowledge the work made by centres, schools and faculties in the field of a real and effective equality between men and women promotion, and, in this way, achieve a more human, equality and fair university.

The Faculty of Philology and Translation achieved the Equality Label on September 24, 2021.
