Given that there are no other prerequisite training requirements to start these studies, the access route may already indicate a certain profile, although we believe that it would be highly desirable for the future student of the Degree in Economics to possess the following personal and academic characteristics:

- Interest in the economic reality and its social implications
- Analytical and synthesis capacity
- Social commitment
- Ability to adapt to a changing and competitive environment
- Linguistic skills in Spanish and Galician
- Use of basic computer tools

The Faculty has the collaboration of several professors who act as academic coordinators, and whose role is to tutor and assist in their academic decisions to their own and host students.

The USC has a programme of student tutors for undergraduate degrees, so that final year students, after training provided by the University, carry out guidance tasks for students who are starting their studies.

When a degree suspension occurs, the USC guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.

If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programmes.

Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to students with the following degrees/ diplomas or studies, or any other recognized as equivalent to these:
A.1. Spanish Bachiller, European Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.
A.2. Baccalaureate from European Union Member States’ education systems or other countries withinternational agreements.
A.3. Advanced Technician in Vocational Training, Advanced Technician in Plastic Arts and Design orAdvanced Technician in Sports Education, from the Spanish Education System.
A.4.Studies carried out in European Union Member States or in other countries with international reciprocal agreements which meet the academic requirements in those States to access their university study programmes.
A.5. Official Spanish university degrees of Diplomado, Arquitecto Técnico, Ingeniero Técnico, Licenciado, Arquitecto, Ingeniero, Graduado or Máster Universitario.
A.6. Partial (foreign or Spanish) university studies.
Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is also possible for:
B.1. People over twenty-five after successfully passing a specific access test.
B.2. People over forty with work or professional experience related to a university field of knowledge.
B.3. People over forty-five after successfully passing a specific access test.
Likewise, access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to:
C.1. People meeting the requirements to enter university according to the Spanish Education System regulations prior to Ley Orgánica 8/2013, of December 9.

The Faculty has 37 classrooms for theoretical teaching-seminar, with capacity from 25 to 500 seats and 7 computer rooms for teaching, with a total of 120 computers.

Among the areas designated for students, the centre has a computer room that are free to use and equipped with computers, 3 workrooms for students, two study lounges and a collaborative workspace.
