Description

The Bachelor's Degree in Applied Galician and Spanish Philology offers specialised training in the field of Galician and Spanish languages and literatures, so that those who take it can apply their knowledge and values to the progress of society through the use of digital tools and a complementary command of modern languages (such as English, French, German or Portuguese). It uses the term Philology in the sense of collaboration between several disciplines and subdisciplines always centred on the word and its texts, and the adjective Applied because it uses the knowledge of basic science for practical application.
