Universidad de Salamanca

Programme overview

This institutional double degree integrates the Grado en Información y Documentación and the Grado en Ciencia Política y Administración Pública into a single programme regulated by the university's rules for double degrees. The 2026 plan comprises 396 ECTS distributed over 12 semesters (six academic years). Teaching is presencial and delivered in Spanish. Annual intake for 2026-27 is 15 places.

What you'll study

The curriculum is organised as a specific combined plan of study that preserves the basic and compulsory subjects of both underlying degrees and staggers teaching using an alternate-semester system so that students can attend mandatory subjects from each degree without timetable conflicts. The coordination team reviews timetables and final exam dates each year and resolves unforeseen overlaps.

• Total credits: 396 ECTS across 12 semesters.
• Structure: combined subjects from both the Information and Documentation and the Political Science and Public Administration degrees, scheduled to ensure compatibility.
• Academic language: Spanish; face-to-face teaching.

Entry requirements

Admission follows the university's ordinary access, pre‑registration and enrolment procedures for official undergraduate degrees. For 2026-27 the double degree offers 15 new-entry places (10 taken from Information and Documentation and 5 from Political Science). The last admitted cutoff on 25/07/2025 (third list) showed a score of 5.600 (June session). Students who began this double degree before 2026-27 may remain on the 2021 plan; new entrants from 2026-27 join the Plan 2026.

Career prospects

The programme page lists academic and professional outlets for graduates but does not itemise them. In practice, the combined training links documental and information management competencies with knowledge of political institutions and public administration, positioning graduates for roles that bridge information services and public sector contexts. Exact career routes will depend on optional subjects chosen and any postgraduate specialisation.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The university references scholarships, study and mobility grants available to students. Financial aid and mobility recognition rules are governed by the Faculty regulations; students on exchange must link their mobility to one of the two constituent degrees to determine recognised credits.

Administrative notes

Overall academic management for the double degree (enrolment, credit recognition, group changes) is handled by the Faculty of Translation and Documentation; procedures specific to a single degree (academic certificates, grade records) are managed by the respective faculty (Translation and Documentation or Law). Mobility and recognition follow the complementary norms on international student mobility of the chosen faculty.
