GETT Curriculum

The degree has more than 50% of practical training, between laboratory and team work. In addition to technological training, project management and other transversal competencies are taught.

The subjects are distributed over four academic years, with the following general guidelines:

• All courses (except two) are designed to last 6 ECTS credits, grouped into subjects and modules.

• Each semester, except for the last one (the second semester of the fourth academic year), consists of five subjects.

• The Basic Training module (FB), which includes 15 subjects (90 ECTS), provides students with the fundamental competencies established by the CIN/352/2009 Order and is almost entirely completed during the first year.
• The Mandatory Training or Telecommunications module (TE), which comprises 12 subjects (72 ECTS), is mainly completed in the second and third years, with two subjects in the first year. In this module, students acquire the so-called common Telecommunications competencies from the CIN/352/2009 Order, reinforced by four additional mandatory subjects.
• Half of the third year and most of the first semester of the fourth year are dedicated to the Technological Profile modules or specializations. Students must choose one of the four proposed modules. Each module consists of 8 subjects (48 ECTS) and develops one of the technologies associated with the Telecommunications Engineering profession: Telematics (TEL), Electronic Systems (SE), Telecommunication Systems (ST), and Sound and Image (SI).
• During the two semesters of the fourth year, students must complete a total of 18 ECTS credits from the following elective options:
  • Elective subjects.
  • The set of mandatory mention subjects from the specializations not chosen.
  • Internships in companies, which are also considered elective and can validate up to 6 ECTS credits.
  • Credit Recognition: The University of Vigo recognizes up to 12 ECTS credits for language skills acquired during university studies or for various social, sports, or cultural activities
  • Mobility: Credits completed at other universities as part of mobility programs will be recognized as electives, as determined by the Academic Committee, and incorporated into the student’s academic record. For this purpose, three subjects of 6 ECTS credits each, called Mobility I to III, are included.

• Finally, in the last semester of the degree, in addition to one elective course, students complete two modules: the Project Management module (12 ECTS) and the Final Degree Project module (12 ECTS).

This distribution of compulsory ECTS, compulsory of mention/technology, and electives, is reflected in the following table, in terms of courses and temporality.
