* POLITICAL BACKGROUND


Following the introduction of the new Spanish [[Constitution of 1978]] and the arrival of [[Democracy]], the new elected president of [[Spain]], [[Felipe Gonzalez Marquez]] leader of the [[Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party]] (PSOE) will introduce legislation from [[Madrid]] to transform the, until that date, centralized Spanish State, into an amalgamation of [[autonomic regions]] with different degrees of self Administration.

The north-western corner of the Iberian Peninsula will be raised to the “Status” of Autonomic Region, and the Spanish Language with have to co-exist with the new official language: Galician.
The northwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula was thus raised to the status of autonomous region, and the Spanish language had thereafter to co-exist with the new official language: Galician. A new parliament and a new government were created in Galicia for its people. And from the Galician capital, Santiago de Compostela, the newly created [[Galician Parliament]] would bring new legislation for the autonomous community. And it was in this set of circumstances that the university map in Galicia was transformed.


===From one university to many===
A new Parliament and a new government have been created in Galicia for its people. And from the Galician Capital, Santiago de Compostela, the newly created [[Galician Parliament]] will bring new legislation for the autonomic community.


Galicia's first university, the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]], was created in 1495. This was the only university in Galicia until the early 1980s, when two satellite campuses of the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]] were created in [[A Coruña]] and [[Vigo]].
And it is in these states of affairs that the University Map in [[Galicia]] will be transform.


Before that, the only other institution in Galicia with the power to grant degrees was the [[School of Naval and Industrial Engineers]] of [[Ferrol, Spain|Ferrol]], which was created by a ministerial order under the initiative of General [[Francisco Franco]] in the early 1960s.
* FROM ONE UNIVERSITY TO MANY
This school was directly dependent on the Ministry of Education in [[Madrid]], although in 1992 it was amalgamated with the University of A Coruña.


In the late 1980s, the two university campuses of [[A Coruña]] and [[Vigo]], which were created as dependent on the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]], became fully independent universities, being able for the first time to issue their own official university degree titles.
To begin with, [[Galicia]] never had University till [[1495]] when the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]] was created, and from that date onwards, [[Galicia]] will have no other university till the early [[1980s]] when two university campuses dependant of the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]] will be created in [[A Corunna]] and [[Vigo]].


===From the 1990s to the present===
Before that, the only institution which shared “Official Degree Studies” in Galicia was the “[[School of Naval and Industrial Engineers]]” of [[Ferrol]] (which at the time was called “[[El Ferrol del Caudillo]]”), which was created by a Ministerial Order under the initiative of General [[Francisco Franco]] in the early [[1960s]].
This School was directly dependant of the Ministry of Education in [[Madrid]] though in [[1992]] will be amalgamated to the University of A Corunna.


As of the early 1990s, Galicia had three universities, each of them with its own satellite campuses. These were the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]] with two university campuses, one in [[Santiago de Compostela]] and the other in [[Lugo]]; the [[University of A Coruña]] with two university campuses, one in [[A Coruña]] and the other in [[Ferrol, Spain|Ferrol]]; and the University of Vigo with three university campuses, one in [[Pontevedra]], one in [[Ourense]], and one in [[Vigo]].
In the late [[1980s]], the two university campuses of [[A Corunna]] and [[Vigo]], which were created as dependant of the [[University of Santiago de Compostela]] will became fully independent Universities being able for the first time to issue their own official university degree titles.

History of the university in Galicia

A new parliament and a new government were created in Galicia for its people. And from the Galician capital, Santiago de Compostela, the newly created Galician Parliament would bring new legislation for the autonomous community. And it was in this set of circumstances that the university map in Galicia was transformed.
