UDC Gives USC Days to Ratify Medicine Decentralization or Pursue Own Degree

With actions due in January–February 2026, UDC seeks a clear yes or no to the November pact.

Overview

  • USC delayed ratification after its Faculty of Medicine requested a review and a role in negotiations.
  • The November agreement phases second‑cycle teaching over three academic years through shared units in A Coruña and Vigo staffed roughly half by USC faculty.
  • UDC says it will wait only a few days for an unqualified approval and rules out reopening the terms.
  • If USC declines, UDC intends to reactivate its original roadmap for an autonomous Medicine degree, with UVigo signaling a similar fallback.
  • The Xunta warned that creating three faculties would not mean extra financing or additional places beyond the 300–400 agreed with Sergas.
