On Thursday, 12 March, the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) held its Open Days in both morning and afternoon sessions. The event is primarily aimed at second-year upper secondary school students and Higher Vocational Training students, but is also open to parents and anyone
interested in learning more about the University.
The morning session was streamed live online and was opened by the Rector and the Vice-Rector for Students of ULPGC. In their welcome remarks, they encouraged the many students in attendance to choose ULPGC and highlighted the quality of its teaching staff and degree programmes, as well as the advantages of studying at the Tafira Campus, which offers an excellent academic environment and a wide range of services, including the university library and the Student House.
The Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism then presented the Faculty’s degree programmes, explaining their key features, career prospects, and the double-degree options available. She also highlighted international mobility opportunities, including the possibility of pursuing double degrees abroad. Students were also informed about the Faculty’s mentoring programme, which supports new students during their first weeks, and about the course “Train in Mathematics for Economics and Business”, designed to help students strengthen their mathematical background.
The session concluded with two students, Irene Lorenzo García and Adrián Martínez Castro, who are finalists in the 2025 Economics Olympiad and are currently studying the Double Degree in Business Administration and Tourism, sharing their positive experience of participating in the competition.
Both sessions were held in the Assembly Hall and attended by a large number of students. Representatives of the Student Delegation also collaborated in the event by guiding visitors on a tour of the Faculty’s buildings and facilities.
