In Lugo, until the 1970's, the offer of higher education was reduced to the diplomas offered by the Teaching Training College, the Business School and the School of Technical Healthcare Assistants. The first great transformation of Lugo as a university city came with the General Law of Education of 1970, which took into account the incorporation of middle-level technical schools, those of Teaching and Commerce, as university schools and the creation of university colleges. Thus the creation of the University College of Lugo and joined the School of Agricultural Engineering in 1972.
In the 1980's the university offer in Lugo grew with new scientific and technical qualifications linked to agricultural and forestry activities, which led to the creation of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 1983 and the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering. In 1993 it integrated the University Schools of Agricultural Technical Engineering and Technical Engineering in Forest Exploitations, as well as the Higher Technical School of Agricultural Engineers and the Higher Technical School of Forestry. From 2003 it also teaches civil engineering degrees.
