Facultad de Comercio de Valladolid

What Facultad de Comercio de Valladolid does

Facultad de Comercio y Relaciones Laborales is a constituent faculty of Universidad de Valladolid, a public university in Spain with institutional roots traceable to 1870. The faculty operates from two campuses — the main site on Plaza Campus Universitario in Valladolid and a satellite campus on Avenida de Madrid in Palencia — and delivers a portfolio of three undergraduate degrees (Grado en Comercio, Grado en Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos, Grado en Relaciones Internacionales), a five-year double-degree program spanning both campuses, four official master's programs (Foreign Trade, Cultural Economics and Management, International Relations and Asian Studies, Labor Relations and Business), one proprietary master's (Agri-food Cooperative Management), and an International Semester offered in English and Spanish. Its core technology stack centers on the Moodle virtual learning platform supporting a semipresencial (blended) modality in which students attend one weekly in-person evening session.

The faculty is embedded in Spain's public higher-education funding system: tuition is regulated by the Junta de Castilla y León, government subsidies cover operations, and the source data explicitly notes that conventional commercial revenue is not applicable. Its customer base is segmented by academic level — undergraduate, graduate (master's), and continuing/professional learners, with a specialized track for agri-food cooperative executives — and student recruitment is event-driven via open days, high school visits, university fairs, and the International Semester. The faculty maintains cooperation agreements with local and regional businesses, supporting over 80% internship placement before graduation.

The faculty maintains an international mobility network of 100+ partner universities across 33+ countries (Erasmus+ studies and traineeships plus bilateral agreements) and operates institutional partnerships with HTW Dresden (dual degree) and the University of Houston-Downtown (academic writing project). It sustains a portfolio of research chairs (Cátedra de Comercio Exterior, COES, Innovación para el Comercio, Sindicalismo) and a Centro de Estudios de Asia, hosts the long-running Certamen Empresario del Año (42nd edition in 2026), and is led by Dean José Antonio Salvador Insúa. Two faculty professors — Pilar Garcés García (Rector) and Víctor Temprano García (Vicerrector de Estrategia Internacional) — joined the rectoral team in 2026.
