Since no specific prior training is required, as students can be admitted to the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics if they meet the entry requirements established by law, and since there is no limit to the number of places available, it is recommended that students should have a scientific-technological profile for admission to the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics. Within this profile, in addition to mathematics, it is advisable, but not essential, to study biology, physics and chemistry.
Desirable qualities of the future student of the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics:
- Taste for problem solving
- Ability in calculation
- Mental agility
- Geometric vision in space
- Capacity for logical argument

The Centre organises information days on the degree courses and simultaneous programmes in which the Faculty of Mathematics participates, aimed at secondary school and baccalaureate students. First-year students begin their academic life in the Faculty by participating in a Welcome Day where they are offered relevant information about the general functioning of the Degree and the main resources and services available to them at the Centre and at the University.
In addition, a large part of the teaching staff of the Degree participates in informative talks in secondary schools and/or in tutoring SteamBach Projects in schools, within the programme A Ponte https://www.usc.gal/en/services/area/management-academic-services/acces… which disseminates the range of studies offered by the USC among secondary school students and provides academic guidance on their preferences.
When an official degree is suspended, the USC guarantees the effective development of the studies started by its students until their completion. To this end, the Governing Council approves the criteria related, among others, to:
• The admission of new enrolments in the degree programme.
• The gradual suppression of teaching.
• If the extinct degree is replaced by another similar one (modifying the nature of the degree), it establishes the conditions that facilitate students’ continuity of studies in the new degree and the equivalences between the subjects of one and the other plan.
The general requirements for access to degree programmes are set out in article 15 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September, which establishes the organisation of university education and the procedure for quality assurance. More information can be found at the following link:
Access to Degree
In addition, the USC has a University Information Office (OIU) https://www.usc.gal/en/node/44321 , through which specific queries are answered.

Mobility
The mobility of own and host students is regulated at the USC by the Regulations for inter-university student exchanges, approved by the Governing Council on 26.10.2012, and amended in 2019, the content of which can be consulted at the following link:
https://www.usc.gal/en/institucional/goberno/area/normativa/alumnado
The Faculty of Mathematics, in accordance with the Teaching Development Process established in the Centre’s IQAS, is working to promote and intensify measures to increase the participation of students (in-house and host students) in mobility programmes.
Internships
Students may obtain academic recognition of optional credits (maximum 6, Art. 12.6 of R.D. 1393/2007) for carrying out external curricular placements related to the degree. The Faculty of Mathematics has set up the External Internship Programme, which promotes the establishment of agreements with companies and institutions for internships and manages their organisation as a complementary academic offer in the training of its students. The possibility of introducing external placements reinforces the commitment to the employability of graduates, enriching the training of undergraduate students, in an environment that provides all stakeholders, students, teachers and company managers, with a deeper knowledge of the skills that graduates will need.
The regulations governing external placements, as well as the calls made by the centre each academic year, can be consulted at the following link: https://www.usc.gal/en/center/faculty-mathematics/work-placements. Students can take External Internships in the third or fourth year of the degree.
External internships contribute to the training of students on the Degree and are also very positively valued by the different companies and institutions involved in the External Internship Programme.
The Faculty has hosted several job orientation meetings, which aim to strengthen the relationship between the Centre and various companies and institutions that collaborate with our External Internship Programme and to bring the world of work closer to the students. The USC’s Labour and Employment Guidance Department (https://www.usc.gal/en/services/service-units/labour-and-employment-gui…) has also collaborated in these meetings. In the future, we will try to continue organising this type of conference.

The Final Dissertation (TFG) will consist of the preparation of a project, work, report or original study with an academic load of 12 ECTS in which the knowledge, skills, competences and abilities acquired during the studies carried out in the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics are integrated and developed. It will include, as a minimum, tasks such as literature search and review, reading and integration of information, elaboration of relevant results, writing, presentation and defence of the work. The Final Dissertations will be oriented towards the evaluation of the competences associated with the degree, such as: communicating, both in writing and orally, knowledge, procedures, results and ideas in Mathematics to both specialised and non-specialised audiences; or studying and learning autonomously new knowledge and techniques in the different branches of Mathematics.
The Final Dissertation will be carried out by each student individually under the supervision of an academic tutor and a co-supervisor, if applicable. In addition, the Final Dissertation may be carried out within the framework of agreements with companies or institutions.
In order to register for the TFG, students must meet the requirements established by the USC. Likewise, the Final Degree Project regulations of the Faculty of Mathematics state that there is a double procedure for the Final Dissertation offer:
• Regular offer by the Degree Committee.
• An offer made on the basis of a project proposal agreed between the student and the tutor and co-tutor, if applicable. In this case, the assignment to the student will be conditioned to the fulfilment of the enrolment requirements at the time of making it definitive.
At the time of the presentation of the work, the student must comply with the requirements indicated in the corresponding USC regulations. https://www.usc.gal/en/institucional/goberno/area/normativa
